Chief Pilot: Why did you put 3g's on the plane, and pin your cabin crew on the ceiling, breaking Betty's leg?
Captain: Uh, I saw some birds; didn't want to end up like Sully.
CP; Hey, great, why don't you take a week off (without pay) and then tell me about it, again, then.
Captain: I want my union rep!!!!
CP: Roger that.
- Thought that may be the case. I'm guessing that even with everyone safely belted in that there wouldn't be too much maneuvering possible in an airliner - especially when trying to miss a FLOCK of birds.
Using the same reasoning above - imagine the response of some that would be - 'well he maneuvered INTO the path of that one bird. If he hadn't moved then he would have missed it!'
