In your mind, I guess. I think this pilot should be all over the place getting his fifteen minutes of "gawker" fame because you and I both know he deserves much more! This story must be told as much as possible in the shadow of history.
I think your sentiments are nothing but prissy and petty.
Mediabistro is reporting that he will NOT be on the Today show with Matt Lauer on Monday. He cancelled at the request of the Air LIne Pilots Association....no other details than that.
Apparently, Sully has also said “no exclusive” if he does appear on tv, he will do ALL the networks pretty much at the same time.
I believe that Sully does not want to be a part of the media circus; what happened was serious, with the current environment of our “media” he must realize that they aren’t interested in the story, but just the “get”.
Good for Sully.
I disagree. As we see in the World War II vets that never spoke of their heroics or the completely anonymous benefactor, humility is the higher road.
There is a dignity in humility that is lost upon our celebrity obsessed culture where living vicariously seems the order of the day.
Matt Lauer and Katie Couric cannot add value to this story.
