Anyhow, I've been reading through this thread after seeing a more recent interview with Sully which popped up on youtube where someone mentions this forum.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w6Eb...-0k9ORRULKS5ov. As others have said, most Captains I know would never use the word "I" as much he Sully does in nearly every interview, and neither would I. Sure, he plays lip service on occasion to the contributions of his other crew members, but then goes right back to talking about himself. As someone pointed out, if Sully was such a great guy, he could simply refuse any interview without his co-pilot, which would be totally appropriate if he really felt his First Officer contributed.
The attacks by some here on guys who are simply saying Sully should have given far more credit to his co-pilot are really a bit over the top. The cult-like worship of the guy is a little too much. Maybe it has to do with something else, like Sully's laughable endorsement of Biden last year? Just saying...
