“Wonder what Sully would think about the two pilots who took a walk about while flying over the USA.”
Ask any airline pilot. They’re pissed (in the American sense, not the Australian sense). And don’t make the mistake of viewing Sully as someone exceptional. Most anytime you walk onto a major carrier you’re dealing with comparable quality, and expertise. Some are significantly better, but for the most part you’re dealing with pros. It’s what they do.
The point here, is that the solution is not going to be solved by some “hero”. Pilots don’t have much of a voice in this debate anyway, or the problem would be well on the way to a viable solution. It’s going to take a movement to overcome the years of PC complacency that leaves us where we are. Again, it’s definitely not a Sully (one individual) solution. It’s going to take a bunch of us pushing for the right solution, or a lot of innocent blood let because the government didn’t do their job of protecting us.
It would appear that 3,000 lives, in 2001, were not nearly enough to convince the current administration that there’s a problem. Any guesses as to what the fatality “set point” has to be before government does their job?

I would assume that if the deceased were Democrat voters that Obama would be a little upset. Otherwise he looks at it as a cost of doing business with his pals in the Muslim world.
