Dear US Airways,
Your actions were foolish.....
Sully lands on water... the public has restored faith in air safety with US Air. Well trained and experienced Capt. who posesses the skills to think smart, adapt and make crucial proactive decisions = safer flight ( in our eyes).
Valerie refuses a flight, not only did she refuse, the crew following also refused.
Instead of backing your crew, you argued and tried to force a flight that other professional crew refused. Then you had the audacity to have her escorted and removed?
What does the same flying public think now? How many seats will you sell as this story grows ( and it will). Do they want to fly with a carrier who allows bean counters to determine safety? Be proud you have great crew members in charge. Let them do their jobs.
I hope she tells US Air to kiss her very qualified and experience a**. Let us know where you wind up if you do Valerie, we will follow.
Regards,
John Q. Public
