Just received the following from a long time very experienced pilot
friend of mine.
His comment about this one flight earned him a life time pay is a
good one.

Great job by the Air Bus driver. As always, the media passed right
on over what he did that marked him as a REAL pilot :-) After he
went post impact and lost both fans, ATC gave him a clear corridor
into Teterboro. He had scant seconds to make the decision and he
made the right one. He looked at Teterboro, glanced at the
altimeter, figured the angles and did the math. He decided in that
nano second that he couldn't make Teterboro, and THAT decision made
his entire salary for a lifetime career. The rest was just good
flying. You can always count on the media to miss the main point
Well, I thnk that decision got made for him! but yeah, it was all
just stick and rudder from that point on and I'm sure the guy would
be the first
to say he just did what he had to. It'll be an interesting one to
read about, but it's basically the same scenario as deadsticking any
airplane. I think he'd also be the firts to point out that they were
extraordinarily lucky. none of this Is meant to detract in any way
from the guy's achievement, of course, but the media does talk so
much BS with this sort of thing. ..
