Tall poppies
It is Australian culture to nip tall poppies in the stem.
Based on my observations thus far, Sir Richard has a very high opinion of himself and is sniffing a career outside QF.
Just out of interest, is he any of the following; a Instructor Captain, a Check Captain, a CASA examiner, a Management pilot, a CRM facilitator?
I guess the big difference here is that 'Sully' has remained dignified, humble and oh so USA; "aw shucks it was nothin'."
Something Sully said has stayed with me; "I have spent many years learning to control my emotions in preparation for what happened on the Hudson." Sound advice.
BTW- Do any Airbus pilots think that "LAND ASAP" means continue circling for almost two hours (according to Wikipedia) with a couple of 4000m runways and all the safety equip below, while fuel is spraying out of the wing with the potential to ignite at any moment? Not a wind up, just want to gauge general opinion.
