Please forgive me for adding my few penn'orth, professionals, as I am a 1000hr+ private pilot - albeit an old one!
But am I right in discerning here a similarity between the Australian pilots, the Poles who brought the LOT 767 to a textbook "forced" landing and others such as Sullenburger. Three excellent outcomes to emergencies and ALL were expert "handfliers" who had spent a great deal of time without automatics.
I know it relates to other threads but....
Just seeing a relationship....
