Plus, I think Katie Couric wanted Sully to pop a blue pill and bend her over.
I think that is how she got to where she is today in broadcasting in the first place.

He did commend his crew and all that good stuff, but i'mbatman is correct. Sully personally took credit for taking command of the airplane, doing all the flying after the F/O ran into the birds, talking on the radio, turning on the ignitors, firing off the APU, making the brace call, etc.
I understand the FP talks on the radio and flies the airplane while the NFP runs the checklist, but short of the memory items, the NFP typically does most of the work (APU, ETC) while the FP concentrates on flying and talking on the radio. At an altitude where the radar altimiter is still active, should the guy flying be fooling with the APU when there is a capable person sitting right next to him. It's issues like that that got CRM implemented. The CAPT overloading the F/O when something comes up or vice versa, some stick hog doing everything and the plane crashes only to find out the other guy was not allowed to touch anything. That's not the case here of course, but it allows for some great teaching later on down the road.
yeah the aft FA... couldnt throw on a uniform? too tattered? c'mon. she spoke kinda negatviely too. aw well. i think shes looking for a pay day... i really hate to say that. she just seemed real bitter... anyone flown with her before?
poor sully. ..must be getting very tired of all this atention. nice segment though. very heartfelt
AgreedThe thing that surprised me was that the F/A's
didn't know they were going to ditch in the Hudson.
The one F/A said she thought they landed on a piece
of land next to the water. God know's they were busy, but a call to the F/A's should have been
attempted.
The one i didnt hear her ask was "so when you landed in the water and you got wet did you think you just peeeed your pants"? or what does the hudson feel like in the middle of winter Man plezzzzz
In our checklist for a double-engine failure, there is no starting of the APU. I'm sure Skiles was busy doing ECAMs, so Sully started the APU to assist powering hydraulics/electrics. Perfectly rational and a good command decision, since the checklist is geared towards getting a relight and continuing on - but obviously not what was going to happen here.
