Airfoilmod -
"Verbiage at any Hero ceremony: 'Actions above and beyond the call of duty..." I think Captain Sullenberger, given his recent statement, would be the first to point that out. "Did the jobs we were trained to do...'
I don't get the argument. Making a Hero of a Pilot doing a great job actually paints other pilots as run of the mill, or less than 'doing the jobs they were trained to do.' Can we move on?"
Gotta go with you on that 'airfoilmod'. I would NEVER take anything away from Captain Sullenberger and his crew, but I made thousands of successfull landings myself and no one got hurt. I'm just thankful I never had to be put to a test as demanding as the one he went through during my career.
