Did they really have to wear their ER uniforms to practice ditching? Or was to impress the news guy?

I like when she says that landing in Hudson becomes a second nature.
 
Don't worry, she'll be coming to a regional near you SOON!

Brown do you have anything good to say about regionals? Seems all you can do is bag on them in every thread. Do you fly for UPS? If so with all your wages and time off why spend time on this worthless board? Get another hobby or contribute something worthwile because you sound more juvinile than the groups you bemoan. Sheeees.
 
I don't even know what to say. Finally some positive towards this profession and ERAU comes across with their "eh, we do it all the time" like it's no big deal.

I knew some someone would do something like this, I was just talking to the other guy I was flying with and said, "you know it wouldn't surprise me if someone opens their mouth and starts saying how it really isn't that big of a deal."

They have so much to learn about their chosen profession.
 
Sounds like a bunch of poor kids making fun of the rich kid for having better toys than they do. If you can't afford Riddle, don't go there; if you can, then go wherever you want to.
 
I can picture the malls of Central Florida right now. ERAU guys in uniform, combing the food court, trying to cash in on the "Scully" factor with the ladies.

Hey Baby! :cool:

Diversity at its finest!

Of course they made sure to use a female captain too. I guess it proves that chicks can get wet flying an airliner.

It's got nothing to do with it, but hey, if that makes you feel better, go with it. Maybe ERAU should offer a course on humility before trying to showboat in front of the media. I'm sure Capt. Sully would be more than happy to advise on the content.

Bingo. The airline pilot profession has a chance to improve it's image immensely and Embry Riddle somehow cheeses it up for their own free advertising gain to the shiny jet syndrome clueless perspectives (most who are not rich and end up taking up massive loans) while making a critical unusual emergency look like an arcade game.
