Just don't think with his modesty and presented personality, he would take it. He keeps crediting the entire crew, refusing to take any credit himself. It would just seem diametrically opposite from his morals for him to benefit and not the entire crew. It really seems like he's the real deal...selfless.
He's giving credit where credit is due. While he landed the plane successfully the FA's were the front line crew members who instructed and got the people off the plane as fast as they did. One mistake by an FA in the instructions or actions taken could have meant an opposite outcome in this event.
