No you're not the only, and frankly, I think I've heard enough. All I hear these days is Sully did this, Sully did that, Sully did the other, hero, hero, hero, and nobody mentions the other pilot, nobody knows his name, nobody cares, he's almost irrelevant.
This week I'm flying with an ex-Air Force guy, he's "very proud of being Air Force because Sully is an ex-AF guy". I asked him if he knew the other pilot's name, he said no.
Sully and
his F/O did a heck of job, probably better than I would've done, but if the stupid media is not going to give the whole crew the credit they deserve, then I don't to hear about this anymore. The media likes to have a "Hero", I don't expect anything to change .
