Capt. Chesley B. Sullenberger III update

The BBC gives us a few reasons why he was bloody useful to have in that cockpit (as opposed to the fighter pilot story):

"(He) has served as an instructor and as an Airline Pilots Association (Alpa) safety chairman and accident investigator.

He has taken part in several USAF and National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) accident investigations.

According to the New York Times newspaper, Capt Sullenberger is also a certified glider pilot. "
