The thing that is perhaps most interesting to me about the A320 Hudson
incident is the report that the first officer, who was pilot flying,
saw the canada geese and "made note of it". Why didn't he take
immediate evasive action? It will be very interesting to see the CVR
transcript.

I wonder how much training is given in the airlines related to
avoiding bird strikes. Not the recovery from a bird strike induced
engine loss, but avoiding the bird strike in the first place. I have
spent hundreds of hours in level C and level D sims but don't remember
seeing a canada goose in the visuals or an instructor selectable bird
strike scenario. Are there any?
