the article includes phrases like:-
No knock against Sully, he suggests, but almost any decent pilot could have done it.
seems annoyed that Mr. Sullenberger has yet to praise publicly his Airbus plane and its sophisticated design.
He obviously has not read Sully's own book!!! Sully says both of these things.
Mr. Sullenberger may not have needed the help — keeping the wings level, the nose up and the glide smooth — that his Airbus A320 automatically provided him during Flight 1549’s short time in the air. But he and his co-pilot, Jeffrey B. Skiles, did fly by wire during the glide.
In his book, Sully mentions how FBW helped to ditch at minumum speed without stalling in - but since when would FBW have kept the wings level?
