Shouldn't this thread be in the "Gliders" forum?

I'm betting that if yesterday they thought pilots were overpaid, they are re-thinking that belief today.

...and tomorrow they will be back to thinking we are overpaid...

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

Is it really necessary for you to prove EVERY DAY that you are a douchbag and a fool?

Outstanding job by the crew.

I am pretty amazed at how long the plane floated before they had to drag it to shore. I am assuming at least the left engine was ripped off. I have to admit that I am impressed that this airbus stayed intact.

AMAZING! GOD Bless the Capt and his crew. Outstanding!

The same god that put a flock of geese in front of an A320?

heh.

In all seriousness, well done work by both the Captain and the First Officer. Hope the FO isn't overlooked in all of this.

all

excellent work! Read through all 15 pages with mostly smiles, as far as passing the hat, I swear I heard the first question, "what are you going to do now?" and the answer was "disneyworld", i.e. hear comes the movie, book deals etc AND I'm guessing "I fly with CB SULLY or USAIR's new slogan, GOT SULLY?" tshirts... may this be the new realm of aviation, 2nd major accident with zero fatalities BECAUSE of the FLIGHTCREW's training/safety exercises... carry on, please continue with the links of the news/media... Question: There has to be live footage somewhere (of the actual landing), it is NYC?

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

meanwhile...The ACLU sues to stop taking DNA swabs of Illegal aliens before they are deported. :angryfire
