Via AP “Miracle on the Hudson’ pilot Sullenberger retires“,
Captain Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger has flown his final flight.
The pilot who landed a US Airways plane safely on the Hudson River last January said Wednesday he is retiring after 30 years and plans to spend some of his time pressing for more flight safety.
“My message going forward is that I want to remind everyone in the aviation industry – especially those who manage aviation companies and those who regulate aviation – that we owe it to our passengers to keep learning how to do it better,” he said at a news conference shortly after his last flight landed at Charlotte Douglas International Airport.
To me, Captain Sully is a hero and he has shown us the gold standard of excellent in being great at a job one does. If you are doing something for a living (regardless of what it may be), why not be the best you can?
