Not at all! You called Captain Sullenberger "an average pilot", and I defended him. You're playing games with semantics. The fun I was poking at your term "average pilots", posed as questions had to do with their stereotyped life choices, an obvious tongue-in-cheek reference that had nothing to do with aviation skills. One would think it's not a slight to your profession to praise the extraordinary accomplishments of another pilot, but your personal tone toward him indicates otherwise.
Chesley Sullenberger -- ex-Air Force fighter pilot, Red Flag mission commander, safety investigator, civilian instructor at US Airways, Air Line Pilots Association safety chairman and accident investigator. Two master's degrees, founded his own safety consulting firm Safety Reliability Methods, Inc. after retirement. Not to mention the "miracle on the Hudson". Accomplished, sought-after public speaker.
No, he is not, and probably never was "an average pilot". And by calling him that -- let's just say your ego is writing checks your body can't cash!
