At the time of the accident, he held a single- and multi-engine airline transport pilot (ATP) certificate, issued August 7, 2002, with type ratings in A320, Boeing 737, McDonnell Douglas DC-9, Learjet, and British Aerospace AVR-146 airplanes."

So I suspect that he is qualified to comment despite his "celebrity status" on the A320

While it's nice that Sully has a 737 type I suggested him because he has the gravitas to reassure the public. You could put almost any airline pilot in the seat in the MCAS envelope and have him decide if it's a hindrance to have a non linear stick force without MCAS. Maybe Boeing should take up that Canadian regulators suggestion and get it certified without MCAS in Canada.
