Captain Chesley 'Sully' Sullenberger

Your quintessential ....... 'Old Fart'

Well trained, ex military with an exemplary service record.

Understands through IQ and experience, the value of excellent training and CRM. Becomes an expert in field well before 2009.

Joins Pacific Southwest Airlines in 1980 and gets restructured, re-branded and basically screwed from the start of his Airline career till he ends it himself in 2010.......He is frank in his disdain for airline management over those years, citing the damage done to both airlines and crew alike!

Never looses his cool.......

- The young crowd who flock to join CX on 'local' terms are 'enjoying' the results of THEIR decision to join on such deplorable conditions.......that by the way, WE Old Farts are trying to improve.......for the real needs and benefit of everyone!

- Suggesting that us Old Farts @ CX should now leave to make way for younger talent, is rude, ignorant, self serving, short sighted and will dilute the experience quotient within our cockpits even further than management have already deleteriously done so, in their manic chasing of lower costs / more profit / by any means / under any pretext / using any and all excuses and justifications!
