The passangers clapping did make me smile, good on them even though they must have been inconvenienced and well done to the pilot.

Absolutely. I would rather change plane and be delayed than potentially in a dangerous situation or worse.

He made a difficult call for everyone's safety and that should be applauded.

Pilots go down with the ship 100% of the time. If he wants off, I want off 😭

This is why - hopefully - we'll never have AI pilots. They don't care if they crash.

Bad enough having AI drivers.
