good job guys - Also, although we got the view from the back, and now it will probably be used on CNN and all that stuff - the passenger obviously was not listening and filming anyways - his camera or phone could have been flung throughout the cabin and injured someone. No one will care though because they got to see what happened and it was a good result.

The most important thing though is that the asa crew did a great job.

Those videos taken by passengers give us and the public a look inside an emergency, something many of us have never seen before. Taking a cell phone to the back of the head would have been the least of my worries on that flight.

On MSNBC right now they are calling the Captain the New Captain Sully.

How amazingly classic would it be if the Captain was Jake the Bachelor!

Hopefully (probably not) this will will remind people of the importance in a well rested, properly trained and experienced flight crew. You can't just learn how to keep cool and make the right choices resulting in an a favorable outcome because you went to Embry Riddle. Sure that helps but we all know it takes more than that. I can think of many guys I have flown with in the past that had they been flying, the result would have been questionable. Jack is a good guy and deserves the kudos he gets.

Fortunately for him, anything aviation related that happens in NYC is largely in the spotlight. I'm sure he will feel appreciated in the weeks to come.

Isn't it a federal offense to disobey a crewmember in the performance of their duty and isn't it a requirement that all electronics be in the "off" position for takeoff and landing? As long as the rules require devices to be off, the feds need to enforce them, they should go after this guy trying to get his 15 minutes of fame.

Thats exactly what i was referring too earlier. Its taking away from the good job of the crew by talking about it, but passengers are so quick to get on our butts for anything we do wrong. One quick look on you tube or airliners.net will show that no one listens to this rule, but if you are going to enforce the rules on us, you have to enforce the rules on the passengers. Its bad enough for our flight attendants that they don't listen during a normal flight, but during an emergency landing, filming the event so you can talk to larry king is not a priority.

I wonder if the agreement that he sold the footage under contained a clause to cover his legal fees.
