Our Heros
Regardless what we think as professionals in this business about the effort, superhuman or not, that a specfic crew made, it is equally if not more important to reinforce with the flying public that we have the stuff to make flying safe.
Day after day I run into John Q either as my barber, on the golf course or even in doctor's offices who are mightly impressed about the outcome and truly want to believe that in time of need they also wil have a crew with the same skill as displayed in this near disaster.
All the hoop-la that we are commenting on is the marketing of this message, so let it continue. The public needs to remember some good rather than all bad about flying.
