Bochora
...Where is he now?...
Still on the B777 fleet with BA.
...there was a lot after the incident about him getting bad press from BA....
He did not receive any bad press from BA (as a company) rather the reverse.
A few ill-informed individuals, within and outside BA, made a few stupid comments, mainly anonymously, whilst gossiping amongst themselves, some of which the tabloid newspapers picked up on. He was not (by virtue of his contract with BA) allowed to respond publicly, which I would imagine irritated him!

Quoting Tlynch (Reply 6): I thought it was the First Officer who was pilot flying when they landed at LHR ?
Yes, but I seem to recall that the investigation pointed out that he (Burkill) made a crucial flap setting seconds before touchdown that most likely resulted in them clearing the perimeter fence.

Thankyou Bellerphon from preventing me from posting an angry tirade!
Well almost, so Air Netter's please disregard anything you have read in the British tabloid press, the worst, most malignant, being the Daily Mail .
Who have added BA to the (vast) list of people, organizations they hate. Almost a badge of honour for BA from that rag.

Quoting Seemyseems (Reply 12): I wonder after any crash, if the crew carry usual service, they should get like a small break off.
You would certainly think so. In last week's 60 minutes interview of the Us flight 1549 crew, the FA at the rear of the plane, a Ms Welsh, had yet to put her uniform back on. Understandable, as she was the most seriously injured.

Yeh he is still walking around T5 Report Centre with a massive title on his head saying
'yes everyone, it's me'
I wonder if he ever flies over where he 'crashed' his plane on 27L and says 'I Did That' lol
