its to fund an educational program, a**wipe.

Only a bit of water damage.

I was only pointing out that a piece of aviation history was available on e-bay for the public at large,.....Monsieur Buttmunch. I did read that the proceeds go to an education program in Sully's neighborhood (I believe).

Generally speaking, I feel that Capt. Sullenberger speaks well for our airline and our industry as a whole....my largest problem with Capt. Sullenberger (and FO Skiles) was their willingness to testify during the DFR lawsuit. The DFR lawsuit was exactly that. It had NOTHING to do with seniority, the ability to "hold a captain slot", etc.

Take a pill & chill......Bill

Didn't have anything to do with ditching in the Hudson,either.From the ad:

"No, he wasn't wearing this hat on January 15, 2009 - he did not wear this or any other pilot's hat on that trip."

looking at the second pic in the bid listing, it seems the school really needs the money so they can buy the students pants without giant holes in them.

I like the diversity in that pic also, so PC of them.

Sully was a pax on one or our (Alaska) SEA to PHX flights the other day. The flight attendants took his photo and posted it on our co. website. Guess the West guys are not good enough for Sully to ride in the back on his own company jet. Or did they kick him off??

Perhaps The West guys weren't all that impressed with Sully's work of FICTION supporting his new FAKE union during Federal Trial...that he/they lost.

Sullenberger doesn't have the balls to fly on West metal and "chat" with the pilots.

I agree with the part on his eloquence. I also agree and believe that he should have thought twice about selling himself out on our DFR lawsuit. Do you think perhaps he felt the need to "repay" his union for taking good care of him during his ordeal? I'm NOT saying this was the right thing to do, because he was screwing us by doing it, but it's just the psychology of the situation that I was wondering about. (granted I aint no Sigmund Freud either! lol)

I saw his book at the PHX airport bookstore and it was flying off the shelves… NOT.

 

[say again]

Dang, thats a lot of loot for his hat. I wish I could auction of my uniform for half that.

Maybe he's sick of hearing the same old dribble thats been going on for years and years.

$5,200 and 63 bids right now for a sweat-stained hat. uke:


But kudos for the charity!

Becket:

Your comments really show the wide gap of respect that Sully gets vs. what you get.

P.S. - Flight 1549 had nothing to do with the battle between the pilots. And by the way - I heard the appellate judges in SFO are going to rule on the case by citing the law - not what the jurors used in the PHX trial.

Very true, BUT usapa drew in/made flight 1549 and it's associated fame part of the trial! Why? Because they thought Sully's sensationalism would aid to their cause......A very "bull$hit move" on both the union and especially Sully's judgement! A cheap shot using his "hero" status to F-over the west pilot group Hero pilots don't stab other fellow pilots in the back even if they don't get along with them.....

Whatever, pal. You guys just can't stand the fact all the experience is out east.

 

[FlyinGuy]

Experience????? Did you mean to say all the Geriatric's?









P.S. I have no interest in this fight, but I thought I would throw some mud on this slow news day......ciao.

Please don't get pissy about it, we are discussing one thing (at least I am)
and the point of my post was that USAPa dragged Flt 1549 (via the Hero Capt testifying for the East) into the court room for the poop flinging session. The truth hurts but that was a sell out any way you slice it. I flew 121 out East in the left seat for over 15 years and all I have to say about that is even a $hitty day out West beats a nice day on the East by a mile........ the flying, weather, scenery and most peoples attitudes are better all the way around. As one of the first furloughees to go I don't have a dog in the fight BUT I have the advantage (for what little it's worth) to sit back and look at things objectively. One kid didn't get the toys he anticipated, he tried to change the rules on the playground but the teacher stepped in and said NO. Now he's gotten his friends and a bully USAPA trying to get the new rules enforced. Now the bully see's the chance to get the new coolest kid in town named Sully to speak up and tell the teacher that the rules are not like the way the used to be and they need to be changed back...... good luck with that. Please try to sort it it out with out acting like a high schooler, because a lot of guys on the street making unemployment would like to see things settled so they might get their jobs back a little sooner.
(i don't have time to proof read this right now, i hope it was clear enough to follow)
