cmoosego Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 Very fortunate that no one was seriously injured, that pilot needs to get a medal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfman Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 Very fortunate that no one was seriously injured, that pilot needs to get a medal!+1 That pilot did an amazing job landing that plane in the river. The news said he was even able to walk the entire length of the plane twice to check that everyone was out before he got off the plane himself. Amazing!

Chrome Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 ^^^^ no kidding landing a plane with a dead stick, thats a test for him. excellant job. BUT, wouldn't it be some shit if the FO (first officer/ Co-Pilot) was the one that landed safely, and the captain is getting all the props. How pissed would you be.

How pissed would you be.In that situation, the 1st in command will be telling the copilot what to do and definitely not vice versa unless the pilot was unconscious.

Disclaimer Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 Each passenger gets $5,000. The airline is paying THEM for the ride of their lives - normally I'm the one that has to pay to get that kind of adrenaline rush.$5k would buy a lot of trackdays... and keep you on the ground.http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/28750771/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
