6. I find myself embarressed on behalf of "Sully" and I wonder why he allowed himself
Edited on Sun Feb-08-09 07:42 PM by ferrous wheel
to get into that 60 minutes circus. He absolutely deserves enormous credit for doing his job but the hero-worship has escalated from overdone to obscene. I hope there is some good reason for him to lend his appearence to this ghastly display of publicity.
edited for stupid little spelling error

11. Andy Warhol.
I wish Sully hadn't caved into the M$M's demands for heroism on the boob tube. So we can disagree I guess...no problem!

10. He didn't know ahead of time. He probably insisted the whole crew be there.
Or his airline/union gave him an incentive to be there.

9. I loved this story, and am glad I watched.
I can't say enough about the esteem I have for the pilot first, but he seems to have had a great crew. The last leg on the 4th day of travel for these people. Wow. Professional all the way.

14. I **think** (but am not sure) that the flight deck crew and the cabin crew ..............
...... do not stay together. I think the pilot and copilot are a team but that the cabin crew less so. And (again not certain) the cabin crew and the flight crew are dispatched separately.
