Just spoke with my dad... He flew with em at PSA back in the day. Said he is a really nice guy and a helluva pilot(obviously). Couldnt ask for a better guy to give a little dignity back to the profession. Great Job my friend!

Just out of curiosity, were these guys actual Airways pilots or America West pilots?
Great job guys……when it comes to this kind of decision making, I think our compensation will never be enough!!!

He was original PSA and now East airways.

CNN's Chris Matthews just twice referred to the birds attacking the airplane!

I recorded it on my DVR and will have to figure out how to transfer it to youtube.

Please make it available to us!

I'm already laughing my @ss of just thinking about that!

This is why an Air Force trained pilot is always a catch.

Just ask them. They tell the ladies that right after they identify themselves as a "pilot."

Fly Army!

Bravo to the crew!

A HUGE "Al Haynes award" to the crew for an unbelievable accomplishment.

Exceptionally WELL DONE!

Reached an altitude of only 3200' according to flightaware

That's only used for deicing....

Then wouldn't they call it the "Deicing" pushbutton?

Academy grad with two masters! The folks in back could not have asked for a better stick. My dad spoke with him recently and he said he has three more years before he hangs it up.

If parker has one ounce of dignity, he will offer to buy him out with full pay if he so chooses. Will it happen. Not likely...

Academy guy too? I should have known. Those people were very fortunate to be in such good hands.

Great job to the crew. Now pee in this cup and blow in this tube.
