I trust and have more faith in Boeing than the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal.

This is Boeing’s fault too. They didn't’ explain the loading procedures clearly enough.

Capt Sully did the only thing you can do after loosing all power. You sure couldn’t land on some street in NJ. Most Pilots would have done the same. It was nothing heroic or in need of an immense abundance of skill.. Afterwards he has been anointed as a consultant on everything important. He sure doesn’t have the wisdom to advice the FAA OR Boeing on how to do their jobs. He just proved that with his mundane critique.

You have to know how to drive and taxi on ice. The main thing is to take it easy. The hard part landing was over with.This Pilot got shot after the war was over. He got complacent. The Midway accident was entirely different. 6500’ vs. 9000’. Also that was busy Chicago not out in the country like Omaha.

I liked/miss Meigs. It’s unlikely this guy will get elected. It is even more unlikely Meigs will be reopened.

Everything is done by computer of course. They used Pacific and the spell checker printed Paciic. Nobody caught the error.

You should always allow extra time for everything you do in this world so you are a little early instead of late.

There is some luck involved. In Sioux City they had luck. The Captain was an old calm Pilot. Most would still be reading the emergency checklist to see what they were suppose to do and when they didn’t find it they had already spiraled into the ground.

This is easy to figure out why. If you want to play you have to pay. If you want to stay in business you deal with people who pay their bills. This is why SW Air does so well. They have money in the bank and strike good deals on Airplanes, fuel etc. United can wait in line and pay big interest. If you have money, you don’t need good credit. You just pay. Another thing do business with good people. A contract with poor ones or a skunk isn’t worth anything anyway.

It’s possible. It would take two calm people one on each end. One big problem for a complete novice is starting radio communication.On the ATC end you need a capable Type Pilot, that knows all the systems. Most important is that he is very perceptive and understands and can relate to people. With the two right ones you would have a 90% Chance. Some uptight guy that takes 25 hrs to Solo a person won't work. He will spend all the time on proper Radio Procedure or explain how to fill out a NASA Report.
