Sully’s achievements on the Hudson were incredible. However I am bewildered how he has become the fount of all wisdom with matters aeronautical. I would imagine his knowledge of Boeing machinery would be fairly minimal. A highly experienced colleague was quite vituperative in his views on the sainted Sully and I was quite surprised. However I do get the point that due to a one off event albeit brilliantly handled he is now the supreme aviation oracle. I believe that the Max barring unbelievable acts of God will be safe and will now go on to commercial success. Nevertheless this has been a shocking and tragic episode for Boeing and much humility is called for. The regulators both side of the pond can take their share of responsibility as well. I won’t hold my breath.
