Things worked out because he did his job well not just because he was sitting in the left seat. Too often people don't do well enough, as in the Buffalo incident a couple of months ago. So yes, when a pilot does the right thing at the right time and follows his training and experience, he should get a pat on the back.

"Pilots Admired Hudson Before Bird Strike"

They should keep their minds on their job at all times.

Besides, Kate Hudson is all right, but there are better actresses out there.

See, Scooter, this is what I'm talking about. : )

I took the time to read your comment, and I agree with everything you said!

You aren't a nutjob.

What's the matter davcampb - Too tough for you to read? Nobody's forcing you to read the posts.

I hate to tell you this scooter, but most people skip over posts that are too long. It could be very informative, but for some reason I find myself moving over them. I think it's because most of the ones that are really long, they are usually written by the nutjobs. : ) I 'm not saying that you are a nutjob, I'm just saying that anyones that I have read, that is usually the case, so I stopped reading them. Nothing worse than starting to read this long drawn out comment, only to find out the person is CRAZY. Maybe divide it up into smaller ones. : ) I better stop now or I will look like one of them.

Hey Scooter68....set your ego aside and learn how to make a brief post. People don't want to read your dissertation.

What is the big deal about this? The man ran into some birds and had to land the plane to avoid killing or injuring everyone on board. I don't understand why people are still talking about this and much less blaming the Capt. of the airplane for any wrong doing. He just did his job!

They violated the sterile cockpit rule. It's a bad rule but it's still a rule.
