During Katie Couric's exclusive interview with Capt. Chesley Sullenberger, the hero of U.S. Airways Flight 1549 expressed concern over the airline industry's ability to attract experienced pilots.
I am a proud airline pilot. Everyday I am in charge of approximately 200-250 lives. I am happy to have Captain Sully representing our profession. Our first concern is always safety. We don't like diverting for weather or delaying a flight for maintenance, we want to arrive on time as bad as every passenger, but not if it means compromising safety. If you arrive safely, thank your pilot.
