Sully did an amazing ditching on the Hudson. An extraordinary feat of aeronautical decision making with an incredible all surviving outcome. However the net result of that is the deification of Sully and the notion that every word he utters is somehow sacrosanct. The Hudson has given him a platform which no aviator could expect unless they inhaled a pair of Canadian geese with similar results. His views are relevant but probably not significantly more important than many other experienced aviators particularly the Boeing variety. The Max debacle was a stain on Boeing’s reputation which as the true horrible story emerges is going to take quite some overcoming. The loss of the 2 Max’s was utterly tragic. However, I have to believe that the now finished product will be as safe as it is possible to be. Boeing can not afford another disaster. Finally, anything the BBC produces these days will be distorted to fit an agenda coupled with technical inaccuracies. Just my view.
