CA Sully's Book Deal....
#11
There is only one Captain....that is why he gets the big bucks, to make those Command Decisions. I don't hear anyone screaming, "what about the FO" when the Captain takes one off the end of the runway! The whole crew did a great job assisting the Captain in safely ditching and ensuring everyone walked away.

Funny enough, according to Jeff Skiles, he too, was a captain at US Airways but seniority has him back at FO (what I understood from the speech). I guess that's life. I hate how people portray Jeff Skiles as a lowly FO, though....when the guy has as much experience as Sullenberger.
...I am honored to appear before the Aviation Subcommittee. I too am proud of the fact that I have been involved in aviation for the last 32 years. Both of my parents were pilots before me. I have over 20,000 hours in the cockpit, have flown as Captain at US Airways in the past, and Captain qualified on 3 different transport aircraft types.
