He’s a very good pilot who under difficult circumstances probably saved many lives.
The problem is from that he was given celebrity status by the media and the media’s rules say that celebrities are all knowing and philosopher kings on every subject - if you want an “important” point of view, just ask a celebrity”.
It truth, the media knows the ignorant sheeple love celebrities and will follow them anywhere, so what the media does is to go out and find a “celebrity” that will give the media the opinion that the media wants to sell.
An truly important person with a different opinion has to go an find, for themselves, a media outlet that will speak to them because no media outlet is not looking for their opinion.
He was a very good pilot who probably would not have been as successful with that landing if not for his copilot. He didn’t do any of that alone. The copilot, for some reason was never really honored nor remembered. He’s another of those who believes that all of the sunshine they pumped up his ass about how great he is makes him an expert by himself. Either that or he’s being paid for his commentary.
