    True. Though we now also lost one of our best.

    Re: Sully retiring

    I have the highest respect for Sully. I went out to visit on the anniversary of the mid-Hudson arrival viewing from the Intrepid Pier when his ferry went out to the exact spot where he touched-down on the Hudson. I can't say enough good things about this consummate professional and wish him and his family the best of everything. He is a true hero. These days we honor guys who really are not heroes but Sully sets the standard. I wish we had more men and women like him.

    I was able to meet Sully the day before he retired & get my copy of his book signed. No wonder he was so happy that day.
    Train as if your life depends on it. Because some day it may.

    Isn't he also 59, meaning mandatory retirement was just a few months away?

    Pilots can now stick around until they're 65.
