Are you guys serious? I'm all for giving credit where credit is earned, and on that note good job to the Express Jet crew, but seriously? You're going to compare smoke in the cockpit to a low-altitude double engine failure over NYC? Come on.

Emergencies happen every day in this business. Crews deserve a pat on the back after a successful outcome, but rarely do they ever involve the extremely unusual circumstances of the US Air accident.

I think Sully, as well as the entire crew, deserve all the recognition they have received. I think it's good for our industry and I think it's good for our image.

I got a DUCT MON FAULT status message while in-flight the other day... Where's my recognition!?!?!

You don't need to be recognized in the media for every emergency you deal with which is what it seems like a lot of you are alluding to. It's your job! If you're ever unfortunate enough to have to fight a double engine failure and you have a successful outcome, I'll kiss your ass too!
