Okay... not only did he land it...

...he landed it so gently even after sinking and washing 4.5 miles downriver one of the two engines is still attached to the jet.

That, right there. Call him what you will, I want to be able to have as many pilots call him teacher as is humanly, and more importantly humanely, possible.

They should have a big dinner and thank him, cards, ballons, handshakes and so forth. That would probably be a reasonable solution for the pilot, crew, passengers and families.

Appreciation from folks, thanks and so forth, but nothing over the top.
