@marianware most pilots have a good sense of humor.. i thijk you need to when in the face of these kinds of situations.. cudos to them for staying calm they dont really even properly train for water landings the idea being you wont survive anyways
If you read the cockpit voice recorder transcript from the accident report there's even more comedy between these two. They actually have a discussion about company procedure on which engine to start first. Just before the landing, Sully asks Skiles if he has any good ideas. Skiles answer, "Actually, no."
@x8296x you are so right!!! It takes 2 to fly that kind of aircraft! The Co-Pilot was helping Sully and in turn they BOTH saved those passengers! They are funny btw :)
If you are a pilot, don't tell Sully and his crew that "I can't land this plane (whatever it is) due to weather, etc.." He really doesn't wanna hear that shit.:)
These guys don't make enough money for the amount of training, time spent away from family; not to mention, spending a lot of your personal free time commuting. I read Sullenberger only makes $100,000 ($110,000, tops). The average stagehand salary and benefits package at NYC Lincoln Center is $290,000 a year!
This is why I love pilots always have a sense of humor and be serious at the same time. Now compare them to a cop or a security guard, its hard to get those people to laugh.
@LSBonnPower and they have a MUCH harder job! I mean when yo apply to be a pilot, being responsible for hundreds of people isn't the first thinfg no your mind. A pilot is such an amazing job and we should respect what they've done.
@joshuanesbit yeah really, well a cop has a risky job too but most of the time they spend their day driving around, pulling cars over, handing tickets out or block roads when something happened. And I dont want to critisize them, we need them too but they take life wayyyy to serious. Now these pilots just came to the show a day after the incident with the best mood, sense of humor and seriousness. I think pilots have more love for their jobs than police officers or security guards.
I have been in zero at the moment. Although I have been in some pretty awful situations in a plane me being a pilot and everything. She should a been mentally trained to deal with it. it was her job
It's funny but has anyone said how the two pilots look very much like an older and younger version of Orville Wright, the pilot that flew the first aeroplane?! Just an observation, they should get together and make a movie of the Wright Brothers staring these two?!
Apparently right after they landed in the water the co-pilot said, "Well, that wasn't so bad...." And then said, "You know, it would have been better if this happeened in July." (It happened in January, super cold Hudson water.) He's hilarious!
@x8296x Yeah, it was a CREW effort. Without the effective use of CRM (crew resource management), this easily would've been a horrific disaster.
There's a reason there are TWO pilots aboard every commercial flight... this is is an excellent example of why. Sully deserves every bit of attention he got... but I firmly believe Jeff Skiles should've gotten much more attention than he did. Leave it to the media.
I think the Tom Hank Film idea was meant to be tongue in cheek. How do you make a movie about a 2 minute near disaster? if you guys search Youtube you can hear the entire audio. It's actually kind of funny in a dark sense because the pilot is so calm and saying they're going into the hudson while the ATC is giving them instructions to land in jersey.
After watching the movie "Airplane", I knew I wanted to be an airline pilot. Unfortunately, because of my poor vision, I was unable to fulfill that dream.
The Lord never closes a door without opening a window, Although I could not qualify as a pilot, I am now employed by US Airways, and I was hand picked by Captain Sully and Captain Jeff to be their official "Jive" translator.
No! Dear god, why does everything that happens in america have to be made into a film?
Tom Hanks isn't anywhere near old or wise enough to play Sully. Anthony Hopkins would be good. but no america, no, bad america. Stop trivialising everything.
If you read the transcripts of the in-cockpit commo between Sully and Skiles, when they are about to land Sully asks Skiles if he has any suggestions and Skiles answers, "Actually not". LOL. Both of them were cool under fire.
...see what gets me upset about the entire flight 1549 situation was not how much attention and praise Sully received (he deserved every bit of it), but how LITTLE attention and praise the rest of the crew received.
This situation was a total success story because the CREW acted together and used excellent CRM (crew resource management) to handle the emergency. Without First Officer Jeff Skiles.. or any of the cabin crew for that matter, this easily could've been a terrible disaster.
I'm a pilot myself and I DESPISE the term "co-pilot." The proper title for the position is First Officer, and what most people don't realize is that the only thing separating the captain and the first officer is seniority with the airline. There are many instances out there where the first officer may very well have more experience and flight time than the captain, but has less seniority with that particular airline.
MrBwisnewski and captain35000, you're both wrong lol.
As of 10/17/2009, H.R. 3371 (the "Airline Safety and Pilot Training Improvement Act of 2009.") was passed by Congress. First Officers working for part 121 operations (airlines) are now required by law to have an ATP certificate, thus leveling the playing field in terms of certificates held by the flight crew. Seniority is the only difference on the flight deck now.
@X6insane6X hmmmm requirements for an atp - The minimum pilot experience is 1500 hours of flight time and 500 hours of cross-country flight time, 100 hours night time, 75 hours instrument (simulated or actual). Other requirements include being 23 years of age, instrument rating, being able to read, write, speak, and understand the English language, a rigorous written examination, and being of good moral character. Without an instrument rating your basically just a CPL
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
wow cockpit heading straight towards flock of birds... nothing more gay than that. sully got a lot of bonuses im sure especially from his book and free exposure of us airways but he deserves every bit of it.
@defdanesy His name is Co-Pilot :I sure am glad I was flying with someone who was serious as all get out otherwise I would be at the bottom of the Hudson" LOL
@defdanesy Co-Pilot's name is Jeffrey Skiles, 49 years old at the time, married with three teenagers. He has been flying since he was a teenager. Mr. Skiles, has worked for US Airways for 23 years. Both his father, James and his mother, Deloris were trained pilots. Mr. Skiles and his wife had talked about the improbability of making a safe landing on water. Still, before Friday, Mrs. Skiles felt the most dangerous part of his job was the drive to and from the airport.
why is everyone ganging up on jfreak91?!...there is actually no minimum age to take flying lessons...you just can't solo till your atleast 16 (14 in a glider)...its actually not that hard to fly a plane...it only takes 2 fingers to fly it (pilots know what im talking about)....and ALOT OF MONEY....i know people that got their private pilots certificate before they got their drivers license.
Clearly, you jackasses have not read the incident report. So, there is no further point in me arguing with you internet wannabees. Let me just state this nice and slow. EVERY SINGLE AIRBUS A320 leaves the factory WITH THE DITCH SWITCH. I am sitting here looking at not only the technical manual for the 320 cockpit, but also the incident report. So please, idiots, move on.
Nobody mentions on this program that Sully forgot to hit the "ditch" switch, almost drowning everyone aboard. Good piloting for absolute certain, but total luck that the plane didn't sink within 30 seconds. If you don't know what the "ditch" switch is on this model Scarebus, DON'T REPLY TO THIS.....Just sayin.
Absolutely wrong. Wanna see the manual? It's not an "option" from Airbus. And by the way, only ONE documentary I've seen has correctly mentioned this fact. Simply, because it ended up being irrelevant.
Well GUYNSKY, there is a ditch button on the airbus planes with basically closes up completely to keep out water. Sully pressed that button shortly before he hit the water
No, none of us get it. It is only you, the only smart youtuber, that got it. Us mortals have no brain function other than things being explained in detail to us, so that we also can understand.
Im not saying they dont have any skill, cuz it takes a lot of experience and knowledge to fly an airplane (im a pilot myself)
but if that river wasnt there and they impacted the ground in a wooded area and people died, people wouldnt be praising them and then people would bitch more about how "UNSAFE" flying is
the only thing that impresses me about this crash was the calmness of the pilots
the whole event still amazes me regardless of the fact
yea but the river was there and the people were safe. if thats your level of intelligence then I dont ever wanna be in any plane your flying dipshit. thats if u really are anyway.
yes actually i am a pilot, and the fact that there was a river there is just pure luck, its very hard to find a good landing spot IN GENERAL in the NORTHEAST as it is, not to mention for large aircraft like the A320. so i really dont understand how i insulted you or the crew in my last comment? i was just stating pure fuckin fact. maybe if you actually FLEW an airplane in the northeast youd fuckin understand and keep ur fucking simple minded , oblivious- to- everything mouth shut?
if you have enough speed and pressure water can be as hard as rock,soo the plane had to slow dont to atleast 90knts witch is petty much a stall and he still managed to land the plane with no engine and 40000lb as a glider on water droping from 3400ft, he is a good pilot,i also herd that he is an airforce jet pilot
Luck and skill combined can get you a long way, but had theu crashed on ground is not necessarily fatal. Look up for instance SAS flight 751, 27 December 1991, out of Arlanda Airport, Stokholm, Sweden.
All survived, even if the main hull was ripped apart.
Having said that, I prefrer my flights crash free, regardless of the impact surface.
Err... Those numbers in your nic is the year you were borne right? Because if that's the case, you're 17/18 wich means that there is no way in hell you are a pilot.
if your such a fucking smart ass look up part 61.103 in the FAR/AIM asshole. then you'll "errr...." think abuot what you just fucking said to me. that is if you even know what the fuckin far/aim is.
considering i've been "flying shit" since my 13th birthday and was awarded two awards for my "piloting" before my 16th birthday, you should really reconsider the merit jfreak's comments have, even if he poorly constructs his arguements. What he says is quiet correct in that there is an element of "luck" in most survivable airline crashes and although this is the case it does not diminish the skills and fantastic personal traits this crew showed that day.
I really feel for he FO as well. He should have got the same praise as Sully. I dont think the media understands that bringing that plane down safely and the decisions that were made are a joint effort. Yes Sully had control and he made a truly fantastic landing, but i wish the FO had got more recognition for his part. I dont even know his name!!
Jeffry Skiles an unsung hero of flight 1549... Sully is great, but most pilots in the industry really felt the co pilot didn't get much praise, it was a team effort, not just one person. But congrats to both of them and everyone of the crew members.
I am terrified of flying, as the 2nd flight i was ever on almost went down over Atlanta. However, if that flight crew was operating the aircraft I feel like I could step back onto a plane.
A Hero can be anyone, sure they were just doing their jobs, but being a hero is doing the right thing with courage no matter the odds. So are these guys heros? I believe they are.
To actually see that all pilots are not blinkered arrogant robots is absolutely refrshing!!! These 2 guys have not only shown their courage at the landing of the aircraft,but they have shown that their inner strength is just as strong after the event by making audiences laugh at their cavalier attitude. Fantastic interview!!!

Im not saying they dont have any skill, cuz it takes a lot of experience and knowledge to fly an airplane (im a pilot myself)
but if that river wasnt there and they impacted the ground in a wooded area and people died, people wouldnt be praising them and then people would bitch more about how "UNSAFE" flying is
the only thing that impresses me about this crash was the calmness of the pilots
the whole event still amazes me regardless of the fact
jfreak91 2 years ago 4
yea but the river was there and the people were safe. if thats your level of intelligence then I dont ever wanna be in any plane your flying dipshit. thats if u really are anyway.
philees 2 years ago
yes actually i am a pilot, and the fact that there was a river there is just pure luck, its very hard to find a good landing spot IN GENERAL in the NORTHEAST as it is, not to mention for large aircraft like the A320. so i really dont understand how i insulted you or the crew in my last comment? i was just stating pure fuckin fact. maybe if you actually FLEW an airplane in the northeast youd fuckin understand and keep ur fucking simple minded , oblivious- to- everything mouth shut?

if you have enough speed and pressure water can be as hard as rock,soo the plane had to slow dont to atleast 90knts witch is petty much a stall and he still managed to land the plane with no engine and 40000lb as a glider on water droping from 3400ft, he is a good pilot,i also herd that he is an airforce jet pilot
deagle94 2 years ago
Luck and skill combined can get you a long way, but had theu crashed on ground is not necessarily fatal. Look up for instance SAS flight 751, 27 December 1991, out of Arlanda Airport, Stokholm, Sweden.
All survived, even if the main hull was ripped apart.
Having said that, I prefrer my flights crash free, regardless of the impact surface.

Err... Those numbers in your nic is the year you were borne right? Because if that's the case, you're 17/18 wich means that there is no way in hell you are a pilot.

A person who flies shit.

considering i've been "flying shit" since my 13th birthday and was awarded two awards for my "piloting" before my 16th birthday, you should really reconsider the merit jfreak's comments have, even if he poorly constructs his arguements. What he says is quiet correct in that there is an element of "luck" in most survivable airline crashes and although this is the case it does not diminish the skills and fantastic personal traits this crew showed that day.

I really feel for he FO as well. He should have got the same praise as Sully. I dont think the media understands that bringing that plane down safely and the decisions that were made are a joint effort. Yes Sully had control and he made a truly fantastic landing, but i wish the FO had got more recognition for his part. I dont even know his name!!

Jeffry Skiles an unsung hero of flight 1549... Sully is great, but most pilots in the industry really felt the co pilot didn't get much praise, it was a team effort, not just one person. But congrats to both of them and everyone of the crew members.

I am terrified of flying, as the 2nd flight i was ever on almost went down over Atlanta. However, if that flight crew was operating the aircraft I feel like I could step back onto a plane.

A Hero can be anyone, sure they were just doing their jobs, but being a hero is doing the right thing with courage no matter the odds. So are these guys heros? I believe they are.

To actually see that all pilots are not blinkered arrogant robots is absolutely refrshing!!! These 2 guys have not only shown their courage at the landing of the aircraft,but they have shown that their inner strength is just as strong after the event by making audiences laugh at their cavalier attitude. Fantastic interview!!!
