As busy as he thinks he is imagine being the pilot, not only trying to fly the airplane but communicating with ATC. <BR/><BR/>When I worked for an airline we went through these disaster response drills. I spent a few days with the Red Cross practicing drills like that at the Ramada at JFK. That hotel housed every press conference related to a plane crash out of JFK (TWA 800, Swiss Air 111, Egypt Air 990). <BR/><BR/>I used to work with the woman who closed the door on TWA 800 JFK-CDG before it blew up east of Long Island. She had to deal with the guilt of complaining about how much of a pain in the ass the high school students from PA on a trip to Paris were who ultimately died. This could have been much worse.<BR/><BR/>My .02 Sully did a great job, but it was the actions of the entire crew that ensured that everyone made it out alive.subrookiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18389355170524229041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-210575587086373532.post-26575303766949803622009-02-06T04:52:00.000+07:002009-02-06T04:52:00.000+07:00Interesting US Air is using "cactus" as their call...Interesting US Air is using "cactus" as their call sign.
