Hey Gang,
Now I know, by now, we've all seen the plane laying so circumspectly in the Hudson River yesterday. What a sight! When my husband, some PR friends and I finally got a chance to speak, the only thing we could talk about was the amazing ability of the pilot and his crew to get ALL of those people safely off of that HUGE aircraft. Not only that, but the courageous and heroic efforts of the pilot to walk the plane completely before he himself disembarked. I don't know him, but I am so very proud of him and his crew. I can't begin to think what was going through his head as everything was going on, but I know he must have been praying. How could you not???
In the past, anytime a plane was in a similar situation and tried to land in the water as Flight 1549 did, it did not fare as well. This man was truly being guided by God.
My issue, however, was the terrible response by US Airways CEO, Doug Parker. He was a somber and sad sight at the news conference. He was uninspired that his pilot, his employees had successfully saved the lives of 154 people. His press conferense was the worst I'd ever seen in respnse to such a MIRACLE!!!!
What your response have been if you were the CEO???
