Couple of thoughts...

First of all, I was not able to watch the 60 Minutes episode with the 1549 crew. However, in several of the newspaper articles, etc. that I have read in the days following the accident, "Sully" has stated on numerous occasions that it was indeed a team effort.

Secondly, is it possible that "Sully" offered to have his co-pilot sitting next to him for the interview and the guy declined?

Finally, maybe the rest of his crew consisted of a bunch of tools. Maybe a Captain on this board can enlighten me, but wouldn't it be great to steal the thunder of that moronic F.O. that's been annoying the cr - p out of you for the past 4 days?

Just my .02.

Personally, I think we should enjoy the positive news while it lasts. It's only a matter of time until a pilot reports to work drunk again, an airline strands passengers on a plane for 16 hours with no food and overflowing lavs, or, heaven forbid, the flock of geese strike again and a man like "Sully" isn't at the helm.
