No need to get personal..
I'm not talking about experience or extraordinary pilots or pilots who have a number of things go in their favor in an emergency- being an avid follower of that particular incident id say that sully and the crew had all three in spades. There's been plenty of excellent pilots who haven't had the latter, and are no longer here to tell the story
I'm talking about conducting and approaching every flight in a professional manner. That is not that hard..

Pilots like to think they're somehow special and different probably to offset the ridiculous financial hoops required to get there , but we're not. It's just a skill and a job that happens to be a little different and in my opinion pretty good fun for the most part.
