Sorry, Fosky075;
I originally mistook you for someone with an IQ over 60; my bad. In the future, I'll try to confine my sentences to no more that seven words, and I'll make it a point to use monosyllabic words.
Peace.

Air Traffic Control Specialist Patrick Harten testifies on Capitol Hill re: US Airways Flight 1549by aviationwatcher3320,631 views
Actually, Captain Sully has given Captain Jeff considerable credit, making it clear that he could not have handled the emergency without him. Captain Sully has also expressed his chagrin over the medias fixation on him, and the inadequate credit that is rightfully due Captain Jeff, the flight attendants, as well as the rescue and medical personnel who answered the calls for help.
Collectively, all of these people gave new meaning to the word "excellence".

I agree with Outlaw - I have seen repeatedly Sully attempting to divert the attention from himself and give equal credit to the entire flight crew. This is a clear fact an unambiguous. Would the ending have been the same if the co-pilot had continued in-command at the controls? I dunno. The right man was in the right position to do that which was needed at the right time.
