[Muttocracy]

1. incredible - everyone in the room better give him a 5 minute ovation! nt

[malaise]

2. Starting now n/t

[malaise]

3. The pilot walked the plane twice to check that everyone

had deplaned. Damn that's a great man.

W's been upstaged again - by great pilots and Canadian geese. :D

[Muttocracy]

4. yeah - I teared up at that - a hero through and through. nt

[malaise]

5. What a human being.

GEM$NBC said he'd be there. Spare me the miracle crap Governor.

[trof]

10. It's what we do.

By training and by instinct.
If you can get back through the airplane, if it's not burning inside, you have to walk it and make sure all the passengers are off.

6. I Thought Bloomberg Was About To Crack One Liners...

An incredible story...I just am wondering if the Circle Line charged these people the full round trip fare.

Heads up and three cheers for the pilots for keeping cool and to the first responders who got these people out of harm's way in a hurry.

7. A super story

:hi:

So many dumb questions.

add

[trof]

8. No way. Never happen.

Yeah, I heard CNN say he would.
Bull.
He is secluded in a hotel room somewhere in Manhattan with ALPA (Air Line Pilots' Association, our union) and USAir attorneys and management.
As I would be if I'd been on that crew.

You can bet your ass somebody will sue.
Guarantee it.

The cardinal rule for air crews is that nobody talks to anybody except union or personal attorneys, or company legal, following an incident/accident.

THEN you talk to NTSB.
:-)

9. yeah, Bloomberg said he confirmed to everyone that he checked for people on the plane

and the rest was for discussion with the feds.
