I really don't care what you or pip-squeak thinks. What I do resent is the "Katie Couric" and "media-induced fantasy" remarks.
Hell, if you read the interview, even the great Al Haynes says, "What [the captain] said, goes. And we lost a few airplanes because of that. Sometimes the captain isn't as smart as we thought he was. And we would listen to him, and do what he said, and we wouldn't know what he's talking about...."
Does anybody here claim to be a captain?
And you know, now that we've brought it this far, Al Haynes didn't do anything or make any decisions by himself. But Chesley Sullenberger did.
