Being a very frequent flyer myself, the aviation industry has always intrigued me.
But I think the best story teller of where the airline industry was, has and is headed for is Captain Sully Sullenberger.
By the time of his famous landing, his salary had already been cut 40%, his pension had been replaced with something worth pennies on the dollar and yet it was his PASSION for his craft that framed that day.
Airline consolidation, mergers, bankruptcy, cost cutting have taken an honorable and respectable occupation into it being just a day job.
Interesting speech Sully gave back in 2017. Good to watch the whole thing, but the first 5-6 minutes where he describes the investigators listening to the cockpit voice recording just 6 days afterwards will send chills up and down your spine.
We’re running out of Sully Sullenberger’s!
