REset Your DVRs for Feb 8th. Sorry Matt Lauer, 60 min Won 1st Interview w/ Sully

[Voice Of Reason]

On the news footage of his ceremony in Danville, Sully had on a lapel pin...from my distance it looked like an ALPA pin...is the USAPA pin similar?

Yooo...

What's up with giving Sully a free FI membership and have him do the first "Message Board" interview here....


LOL.

I heard yesterday they wre reporting some conversation Sulley had w/a reporter from ESPN as "ESPN gets 1st interview with Sulley."

Wonder if Katie is having a hissy fit

Its a USAPA pin. He had it on at the Super Bowl as well.

Mcdoosh:
Do you wear the NGPA pin while in class at GIA? I bet it matches your hat that you wear while trolling the mall looking for young men!:blush: :laugh:

 

[MCDU]

Dope, you are right on. Everything you write is true.
Kind of like me.
See you at the next NGPA outing. Do not forget your meds and your NGPA pin. Last time you got kicked out playing bingo at the gay bingo outing because you cursed everytime your number was not called. That was so funny. I wish I had that on camera.

Love
M

Rick Reilly of ESPN has now beaten everyone to the punch with the first published interview with "SullY".

Who was standing there Saturday night—just he and his wife—in the lobby of the Marriott Waterside hotel in Tampa, but Chesley (Sully) Sullenberger, the US Air pilot who ditched safely and miraculously in the Hudson River with both engines gone. The man who saved 155 lives was about 6-2, 175 pounds with a deep radio voice and a personality that couldn't be hurried with a team of Clydesdales. He was at the Super Bowl as a guest of NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, but hadn't met him yet, even though Goodell was standing 15 feet away. I had to ask him, What was that like when you realized both engines were out? He thought about it for awhile and then said, slowly and deliberately, "Shocking. It was very quiet as we worked, my co-pilot and I. We were a team. But to have zero thrust coming out of those engines was shocking—the silence." How were you feeling inside? I asked. "Calm on the outside, turmoil inside." He kept calling the whole thing "surreal." His wife, Lori, said she and Sully have been opening letters every night that are so emotional, "it allows both of us to express emotion about it all. We both sit there and cry." I wanted to ask him one more question but he got swept away. It was going to be, "Do you mind emailing me the list of all your flights coming up in 2009? I'd like to be on them."

I'm presuming Reilly wasn't expecting to run into Sully there, so nice job on a totally impromptu interview!

Every time this guy has appeared in public or opened his mouth to the press he has made pilots of any stripe look good. He has brought praise and honor upon our profession and industry. I suggest we just sit back and enjoy it. Rather than bitch about pay rates maybe we should emulate Sully. Clean that uniform. Button that top button and slide that tie up tight. Drop the "Don't follow me, I'm lost too" and "Sedona Nudist Camp" stickers from the flight bags. That's how we leverage Sully.

In response to your post, I think I speak for many of us here when I say:

There's a Nudist Camp in Sedona?
