Sully and Neil Armstrong were supposedly the quiet, serious types. And Neil had his moment of doubt too... on short final to mare tranquility. So maybe there's something to be said for that personality when the chips are down.

Now if you were talking about Yeager, I'd let that one slide... a lot of smoke there.
I’ve never met a pilot who actually met Yeager that didn’t think he was anything but a complete A-hole

I've met him twice. The first time, I thought "what a dick." But the second time I met him, I realized I was wrong. He was actually a tremendous dick.

He trashed Trump last year publicly and now has his new gig lined up thanks to Biden and his administration.

What’s this BS about Wokism and Cancel Culture? Why should Sully be criticized for exercising his First Amendment right? I mean its not if he’s trying to get rid of Dr Seuss… is it?

Never said you said anything of the kind… just making an observation how one group of people get bent out of shape regarding statements about other who members of another group. On the surface from your statement, Sully was rewarded, by the current administration, for his public opinion.

Does that make him a d-bag? I’m not sure what you’re trying to say.

Nah, it just makes him a liberal from SFO. It’s probably why the liberal media glorifies him, and it’s obviously why he was awarded a meaningless position. You hype the group, they reward you with the good ole boys club access. This is just normal political crap that goes on with both parties. I wouldn’t be too concerned with the matter.

Honestly, I just wanted to know if the guy was truly a prick or not. Everyone can agree he’s a Hero. But I was informed asking of someone’s “personality” is forbidden on APC, lol.

Nah, you accused him of going off script during the recovery from a dual engine flameout with no knowledge of the aircraft systems involved and then made a character attack to follow up. You could have handled yourself and your curiosities better but were blinded by your now admitted partisan dislike of him.
