I am well aware that Sully is a highly experienced aviator and I completely endorse his incredible handling of the Hudson ditching. A great story mainly because everyone walked away. I am not one of them but certainly colleagues of my vintage can be a bit ahem, sniffy about the never ending Sully worship. Professional jealousy? Perhaps. However, Sully’s background while not particularly or radically different has given him a platform whereby the rest of aviation hangs on every word. He may or may not always be right. Personally I am glad I never had the misfortune to encounter corpulent Canadian geese @ 250 knots. So, to clear up any misunderstanding I have great admiration for the man but he shouldn’t be seen as the oracle without challenge either.
