...for a job well done on landing their A320 on the Hudson after dual engine failure (initial reports) due to bird strikes....and no fatalities (initial reports).
A great example of someone not forgetting to fly the airplane.
If the reports flesh out as true, then Well Done! and hats off to the crew. I suspect if this turns out as initially described this will be taught in ground school as 'how it is done'.
1. If YouTube video of the landing doesn't appear in the next few days I'll be surprised...given where it landed.
2. www.USAirways1549.com was purchased about ten minutes after it hit the news (old I.T. habit)
3. I hope if in an engine out situation I do half as well....
