US Air type in the Hudson?????????

VERY NICE JOB CREW!

:beer:

the px should be required to take the crew out for dinner and drinks.

Are you kidding?! The pax are lawyering up and getting ready to sue US Airways, the pilots, the pilots' estates, and the flock of geese that might have been responsible for this accident. That's how this sue-happy nation works. Look at the Continental accident. Even though all pax were alive, many have sued.

Better to have not hit the birds, or the news. They should have delayed the takeoff.

Pretty stupid post. You are an idiot

I guess you have never flown out of LGA? Birds are everywhere. Let's just be happy that nobody got hurt. Kudos to the Captain. Excellent work by the crew, front and back.

 

[Captzaahlie]

they are tying it off to battery park city. opposite direction of lga. they wouldn't do a very good job fighting the current back to lga nor fitting the airbus through the harlem river.

Maybe some reserve guys could sail it back to France for repairs?

Sorry for the dumb comment Landlover I really do appreciate the first hand info from your Uncle.

Any word if the birds are ok?

Do you not watch the news? They said no casualties. I always thought an aircraft engine would chop up a bird: I guess not. Apparently this goose was not cooked. Thank god everyone survived.

Holy crap that was funny. Nicely done.

 

[Flyer1015]

But seriously, VERY nicely done by the flight and cabin crew!

 

[Amish RakeFight]

Whose the resident birdstrike expert here?

The odds of a flock shutting down both engines is almost astronomical.

Fat floats. Didn't you see the first-class passengers floating away on the flight attendant's back?

Unless, that is, you takeoff into a flock of birds.

Pretty impressive!

 

[j41driver]

Are this idiots aware that there are 2 pilots on the effing plane???? They all keep saying "the pilot". Jackasses....

6:05pm, and everyone has issued some sort of press release regarding this accident... except ALPA.

I understand the US Airways guys gave ALPA the finger and formed their own in house union, but in spirit of air safety and investigations, the least ALPA could have done is issued a press release that would express prayers and thoughts with crew and pax involved in this crash. Guess they have to be a due-collecting airline to get that sort of treatment.

This is what ALPA did for Continental: http://www.alpa.org/DesktopModules/...iew.aspx?itemid=17382&ModuleId=12567&Tabid=73


All they had to do was something very similar for US Airways, just in spirit of air safety and investigation. They don't have to help or investigate, but just a little sympathy of prayers with flight crew and passengesr would have sufficed.

Go ALPA!

 

[linepilot]

Outstanding!

 

[taxi1wire]

Great job guys

Hats off to the pilots, great job fellas.

 

[samballs]

I like the NY news conf. NY people sure can toot their own horns.

So you are certain this was the captain?

 

[mynameisjim]

Did they push the 'Ditching' Pushbutton?

 

[dispatchguy]

So you are certain this was the captain?

Wolf from CNN said that USAir has confirmed that Cap Sullenberger was the PIC...

Per his profile, he developed CRM at USAir, was a check airman, ALPA local air safety chairman, accident investigator, and a national technical committee member.

Former F-4 driver, and a USAFA graduate...

Hopefully when he does interviews he will handle those as well as the emergency and help bring some respect (and pay) back to the professions of the entire crew and crews everywhere in the industry. He'll be given a huge soapbox...hope it is used well. Great job.

 

[Ty Webb]

He'll be given a huge soapbox...hope it is used well. Great job.

Mighty nice job. I hope he's not over 60, though, or we'll never hear the end of this one.

 

[dispatchguy]

He graduated the Air Force academy in 1973, so my guess is around 57 or so...

 

[s3jetman]

great job to all crew members! Just one question did the ATIS have the notice "Caution birds in the vincity" I hear that every day on every atis but now i will actually it into serious consideration

Go ALPA!

....and yet, miraculously, they seem to be doing fine without ALPA's thoughts and prayers. Can you imagine!

 

[zeeman]

Text book performance by the entire crew. Congratulations on a fantastic job done safe as it could have been done.

 

[fischman]

CNBC reporter was making a big deal that the FAA said there was "bird activity in the vicinity of the airport."

Awesome job crew!

 

[xjlifer]

Great Job to that entire crew!.....and I just added McNugget to my ignore list

 

[grog_sit_reserv]

That's only used for deicing....


Job well done to the crew.
