Oh those whiny overpaid airline pilots!

Kudos to this crew for excellent airmanship and CRM. Remember this when some loon says you are overpaid.

Sometimes we earn a careers worth of pay on a single flight, Sioux City comes to mind.

This caught my eye:

Hansen told the story in a 2006 court hearing, and the version below is his own words edited from the transcript.

So, what was the court hearing about? NTSB, or a criminal or civil hearing?

Let me guess...no bent metal, no injuries, no deaths...

Must be a reason for a lawsuit in there somewhere....
