It's not going to do squat for bargaining. It may remind us all how we will be treated after an incident, even one with a successful outcome.
If I were a new pilot and saw the scrutiny and Monday morning QB the crew received I might be persuaded to apply to med school instead.

What would a pilot with 50 hours have done differently in that situation? Pitch for best glide, find a suitable area to land, run an engine out flow, and declare an emergency? Maybe as a lowly Cessna 172 pilot I am missing something about why the deification Captain Sullenberger is justified. Maybe someone here who is more qualified can explain it to me. From what I see, student pilots are not allowed to solo unless they are proficient at this very maneuver (engine failure)(at least if I am the one giving the endorsement). After having said all that, this trailer actually looks interesting as it appears to also be focused on other perspectives, beside just the "superhero" story.

Have you had an engine failure right after takeoff over an enormously populated area with 155 lives at stake?
I haven't, but I'm glad to say 'job well done Captain'
On top of all of that - - - his handling the spotlight and being able to provide a positive message for the airline industry in the face of the event was good for aviation in general.
