Not much resistance when you make appearances on 60 minutes, the major networks, CNN and others patting yourself on the back.
The interviews you see on TV is not what is portrayed by those being interviewed. It’s known as sound bites and creative editing without guidance or participation from those being interviewed… that’s where sensationalism comes into the mix.
Let’s assume Sullenberger referenced his F/O, and his F/As throughout the raw interview. It was the Journos who deleted most references to them. It was the Journos who wanted only
ONE hero… that “
HERO” was Sullenberger, and not the entire crew.
Journos don’t know, let alone care, that a crew operates as one… and that hero was the
CREW.
Sullenberger is categorically NOT the type to say, “
I want to thank the little people who made this possible for me.”
