US Air 1549 Cockpit to Tower Recordings

Who gives a f@ck?

Are you trying to bury your "talks like a pig" post in shame?

MS:
What is this about?
Are you into ham radio?
Are we into ham radio?

Aren't there 'better' things for you to do?
Is our 'economy in recession' and our financial meltdown into recordings - unless supreme ponzi meister Madoff is speaking?

Try to think of this as a metaphor for how things could ideally happen in a crisis. As opposed to how they are. I listened to the audio and was very impressed.

KT, if you're listening: Sully for HHS!

You are f@cking moron non pareil. You need a hero like Sully to take the helm of your tanking career.

May I assume the rude comment was aimed at MS, not at moi?

Why is this on Swampland?

hulagate just suggested that we do away with air traffic controllers and let pilots clear themselves for takeoffs and landings.

Interesting to me.

Michael -
Ignore the sour grapes from some. I found it interesting and informative.

One thing that's interesting is that the USAir equipment is still called by the America West identifiers (Cactus). From a transactions perspective it makes sense since America West acquired US Air and took the older name, but it's still striking (no pun intended).

Also, wouldn't you think that a pilot who had frequently flown in and out of LGA would have run through the "what should be done if the engines go out?" mental scenarios many times? I wonder if such things turn up in simulator sessions. None of this takes away from the pilot's skill and sang froid in bringing the aircraft and its occupants safely to rest.

"informative"?
MS in disguise, I presume.
