I haven't taken a bath since I got my ATP over 27 years ago (I take showers). I have thought of losing all engines over every portion of the 48 contiguous United States...I fly domestic USA and haven't bothered with alaska or hawaii, or the myriad of other places on the earth.

Sully is not unique, except that his plane happened to need his skill on a particular day. I would like to think that all of Sully's comrades at USAIRways would have done as well.

I've often thought of what I would do with a 911 situation...but I won't tell you.

That's what good airline pilots do...they play: what if?

One critique of sully...why did he go back for the maintenance log book and not the portable PAsystem/bullhorn/powered megaphone?
