The speed and intensity in which she extended the spoilers on the ground made me CRINGE

! Surprised the handle did not brake-off, would love if she handed it to the reporter on camera saying “oops, here ya go..” awkwardly.

What do they say? The best of the worst? Something like that.

She couldn't even be bothered to iron her shirt before going on national tv.

And now we know why.

The news called me to talk about the “miracle on the Hudson”, No was my answer and it should have been hers too.

You’ve done worse than unintentionally get the shaker and stall warning at altitude? Yikes. O

As said earlier, hopefully this was jazzed up a bit for the camera. If not, wow. Sink rate, 4 white, and her aim point looked like it was at midfield. Leeroy Jenkins comes to mind more than professional and competent aircrew member.
