Like most good Captains, Sully spent decades of his career doing a good job avoiding the limelight.
He found himself in a terrible situation through no fault of his own. I think he has handled the aftermath well, and probably better than most would have. Very few people ever hold so many lives in there hands at one time, and so often.
Several thousand airline take-offs occur every day. The airlines consider every single take-off to be a possible $500 million dollar liability.
Sully is now a celebrity because of his hero status, not the other way around. He did a fine job in his professional role, as does Tom Hanks in his.
