The other common aspect of all 3 was that they were all ex military pilots.
(By all 3 I mean Sully and the 2 Qantas incidents).
I wonder how much that has to do with being able to handle things under pressure and very high work load ?
Absurd comments really and you mustn't be terribly well travelled professionally.
I've heard off the record that a civilian trained co-pilot was quite guiding in one of the incidents. And don't get me started on Eastern European ex-mil!
The military can provide superb pilots in a civilian world. But not always. Sadly, with the way training has gone, previously considered average ex-mil guy will stand out in some of the civilian outfits getting away with not investing in pilot training.
