He could be the leader of the Westies
Is that like being the Pope of Greenwich Village?
Either the East or the West is going to be the Eric Roberts Character
It's also interesting that Sully and Jeff put out a letter today in response to this report... Let's just say they both think the safety culture here is very flawed...

Here's a link to the NRC report:

I agree that the NRC complimented the pilots. If you read down aways and look at Work Processes, Continuous Learning/Training, Environment for Raising Concerns, and Respectful Work Environment, I think you'll find the NRC did compliment US Airways safety culture.

I saw this mentioned on another site too, but no one could could provide a link to show the actual letter. If someone has it, could you please post it. If Sullenburger said this it should throw up red flags. Is this a problem that was brought along by the old US Airways? Is it a left over from east chief pilots office and management attitude? Have never heard of these problems on the west side.

I lost all respect for Sullenberger when he took the witness stand and perjured himself in an effort to assist the East in the theft of West pilot careers. Did the "flawed safety culture" put a flock of geese in the flight path? Was it the "flawed safety culture" that allowed every single pilot that reenacted the scenario in a Simulator to safely land back at LGA?
Sullenberger should count his blessings that NTSB and the FAA would rather have the face of a "hero" than to publicly dissect that facts of 1549.

So when was this "already decided" in your mind? You seem torn. Was it when Sully took the stand, or was it actually when you observed the NTSB failing to crucify Sully and Jeff? When was it? :roll eyes:
I will let Sully know to count his blessings, as if he and over 150 folks have not already been doing so.

Hacking into a website is considered a VERY serious violation of federal law. Should we all just hack into websites that include commentary in which we disagree? Maybe there is a product you don't like, hack into their site too? You are part of the problem. I find it reprehensible that you would hack a site, and hope that the owner of the site takes decisive action.

The day Nicalau published his award. There's abundant evidence that establishes that date as the day this was "already decided". Everything from the fake union is just noise and delay.

Venting your frustration on Sully and Jeff is pretty petty and disgusting. You are wrong about the sim. Despite knowing what was coming, having a plan in mind and not having the adrenaline going, many didn't make it back to LGA in a SIMULATOR!
I remember reading Sully's testimony in the transcripts and I don't remember any perjury. I remember him saying the same thing he said to Prater and his ALPA buddies when they came to CLT-we were flying together that day.

Yet far more credible than any of the other "unbiased" opinions being shared on this board.......yours included.

Please correct me if I'm wrong. In the aftermath of the Hudson River ditching, didn't Sully take on a management pilot position at US in the Safety Department? Then, within a month or to, grab the meager early out package and run like hell from that same department (and US Airways?) Maybe once he saw the Safety Department from the inside, he realized what a politicized mess it was, and what an idiot was running it.
Wish I knew Sully personally. I would love to call and ask if my conjecture is at all accurate.

The seeds of USAPA were planted well in advance of Nicolau even beginning to hear the arbitration.
USAPA's first website (before they even had a name) was "DecertifyALPA.com." That URL was originally registered in November, 2003. I know, because I registered it fully knowing it would be needed soon thereafter. (It's now back on the marketplace for any of the other ALPA carriers pilots to use.)
