Captain Sully in the Cockpit Soon?
Capt. Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger, the pilot who safely avoided disaster by landing a US Airways flight in the Hudson River, will be returning to the cockpit soon. The word from US Airways is that he has completed the necessary training to make his return and is working out the details of his flight duties.
Among those duties, he will receive a promotion into management. He will be a “management pilot” on the airline’s flight operations safety management team. Captain Sully says: “In my new role, I will continue to be the same kind of advocate for aviation safety that I have been for several decades.” He is the head of his own aviation safety firm and a former Air Force pilot.
Capt. Sullenberger looks toward to getting back in the pilot’s seat. In a recent statement, he says “ I have missed working with my colleagues at US Airways, and I am eager to get back in the cockpit.” His book is set to release next month documenting the splash landing titled “Highest Duty: My Search for What Really Matters”.
