Good thread.

No offense to meant to Capt. Sully, however, I have flown with quite a number of 1000 hour wonders that would have reacted similarly to the dual engine shutdown and made a nice wings level splashdown.

I have also flown with 16,000 hour pilots that can't handle a change in runway request by atc.

How do we ensure we have the best?

Scenario based training, with multiple malfunctions at the same time.

First officers and copilots should be checked the old way - single malfunction at a time.

Captains must be checked/typed with simultaneous multiple malfunctions.

Sully didn't face a single malfunction...
