With all the accolades being given to the captain of Flight 1549, I have yet to hear one word about the First Officer. Flying and handling a jet like the A320 is a job for two, regardless of which pilot is actually flying at any given time. Even if Capt. Sullenberger was the pilot flying (PF) at the time of the forced landing, the pilot not flying (PNF) is assisting him, calling out altitude and speed, setting the flaps, etc.AFAIK, they haven't even named the F/O. IMHO, he deserves just as much praise as the captain, as does the entire flight crew. |
