A MESSAGE FROM CAPTAIN SULLY SULLENBERGER
The following is a personal message from Flight 1549 Captain,
Sully Sullenberger. I have been asked to relay his letter to our
Flight Attendants. On behalf of AFA-CWA, we want to extend our
appreciation to Captain Sullenberger and First Officer Jeff
Skiles.
To My Fellow Pilots,
I am truly humbled and honored that, for an unknown purpose, the
crewmembers of Flight 1549 and I have been chosen by fate to
represent the professional airline employees of US Airways. I do
not take this honor lightly and, as future events unfold, I
pledge to do my utmost to live up to your expectations.
Many factors influenced the outcome of Flight 1549. I am certain
that the positive result is due to the crew effort - without
Jeff, Donna, Doreen and Sheila, we would not have been
successful at saving so many lives. In addition, all who were
involved in removing the passengers and crew from the Hudson's
icy waters will always have my deepest appreciation.20
As pilots and as union members, we are part of a brotherhood. I
want to thank USAPA and all of its committee members who
protected me and my crew during this trying time. We also thank
you, our fellow pilots, for your generous show of support.
Sincerely,
Sully Sullenberger
