I guess he still gets the same DOG FOOD for retirement that the rest of us get eh?

What about the Flight Attendants?
Dude

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.
