Mr Wells may very well be far more experienced than our hapless young pilot here but there's one thing My Well's hasn't got.........& that's youth!:-)
I guess by Mr Wells std's "hero pilots are those who spend a lifetime flying around without an accident" means Capt 'Sully' the guy who is/was a hero with the A320 ditching is another Mr Humphries???
We all have an opinion on such matters even Mr Wells is entitled to one it's just a shame though that his many years of experience is working against him by way of poorly thought out comments.
