the great sully violated sterile cockpit? imposible...

So, Doreen opened the door? Oh well, I can't say that all my actions would be perfect after a forced ditching. Good thing nobody got killed that day.

Saying, "Wow, what a nice river" on climbout is a sterile cockpit violation?

I'd give her a pass on opening the door..she didn't know they doing a water arrival. But she apparently lied about it later to CYA...

Maybe that was he way of picking out potential forced landing sites and bringing the F/Os attention to such a spot (the glass is half full).

The great 'Sully' did more than violate the sterile cockpit. Wait for the FDR data release. He never pushed the thrust levers up after the bird strike to see if there was more power available. Also, heard the restart they attempted was out of sequence.

Leave the Monday morning quarterbacking to the News "experts" you honestly want to hammer on his non checklist driven response to a DUAL ENGINE FLAME OUT at LOW altitude?? I think his outcome was good....probably much better than the guy who focused on the checklist until impact with god knows what.

you cant be serious....

I didn't say that I would do anything different. I'm not "Monday morning quarterbacking."

Who would have time to run a checklist in that situation anyway. I said nothing about running checklists.

When the all the facts are released, are we going to bash the NTSB for "Monday morning quarterbacking" with their findings?

Ouch, man...and what was he supposed to do about AutoThrust?
