Letterman

Yes, the crew was great on letterman. Skiles was very funny and it comes out that HE HAS MORE FLYING TIME than Sully does.

Again, in my view, the real hero is the aft flight attendant...doreen. 38 years with USAIR/allegeny. IF the back doors had been opened by the passengers, I am sure the outcome would have had at least a dozen drowned in the tail.

Oddly enough, the crew was also on Larry King at the same time due to repeats...I was switching back and forth between the two.

Doreen, on letterman, reminded me of Teri Garr in the good old days.

I truly hope the whole crew does not go back to line flying and is given a nice training gig or full pay forever doing nothing. Sully, if you read this, quit while you are ahead.(this is not meant as anything in a negative way...one only gets so much luck, even with experience and skill)
