Default Call The Media!!! Sully Broke Sterile!!!!!

Pilot: Bird warnings from tower of little value - Yahoo! News



A cockpit voice recorder transcript released by the board showed Sullenberger and co-pilot Jeffrey Skiles were admiring the view of the Hudson River less than minute before their plane struck the geese and lost thrust in both engines.
"What a view of the Hudson today," Sullenberger remarked.
"Yeah," Skiles responded.


After all the ****storm from Colgan and such, it would probably come as a shock to all of America that their hero, the mighty Capt Sully, broke sterile cockpit also. Wow...I'm suprised that those 7 words didn't cause him kill everyone onboard!!!! Stupid media. I'm so sick of their witch hunt.

No, it is an excellent post showing how stupid the public and new media is. During the Colgan hearings we kept hearing about sterile cockpit violations and how nothing "not pertaining to essential flight operations" should be said below 10,000. The FAA and NTSB tried to paint Colgan pilots as a group that violates sterile constantly while the rest of the industry adheres to it 100%.

The fact is that nobody adheres to sterile 100% and this just shows how the media picks its headlines.

Actually what would have been more surprising was "I can't wait till Fedex hires again" "yea"

I don't see that as breaking sterile cockpit. Now if he was talking about a sight seeing trip he did on the Hudson it would be different. The argument could be made that the conversation was safety related for example pointing out potential emergency routes.

I think you are a little off. I do not think the mention of "Nice day on the Hudson" meant anything other than "nice day on the Hudson."

At least he was looking outside

Talking about a crappy career takes mental bandwidth, admiring the view is a lot different.

I agree, it was not the reason that Colgan crashed.
