| What? There’s a reason why civil and military aviation both work on a stepping stone approach. Sullenbergee was no seasoned veteran when he started flying T-37s in UPT. As far as the Hudson, well he had no thrust- but he also had fully functional controls, good visibility, and approximately 3x more time to respond.
Tomcat I really wasn’t trying to specifically pick on you, I’ve just seen far too many people say ugly things about this while being completely ignorant. Pairing new FOs/co-pilots with a “seasoned” captain is everyday routine, it’s completely absurd to say it’s a causal factor of a mishap that has barely begun investigating. There is no reason to believe her performance was not exemplary. | |
