NOW THAT'S TRAINING!


Capt C.B. "Sully" Sullenberger clearly is "a seriously good aviator", but let's not forget that pilots undergo some serious training, certifications and drilling in the air and on simulators. And for just the situation that Capt Sullenberger and his crew faced today when they ditched their Airbus 320 in the Hudson River. Everyone survived.

Most employees aren't flying aircraft, transplanting hearts or performing similar life-and-death activities, regular practice after training is still important. It seats knowledge and prepares them whne unusual situations appear.
