Sullenberger Abruptly Resigns as ICAO Ambassador
C.B. “Sully” Sullenberger, the pilot who successfully dead sticked an Airbus A320 to a safe landing on New York’s Hudson River in 2009 after hitting a flock of geese, said late last week that he would step down as U.S. envoy to the Montreal-based International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), effective this Friday (July 1).

A human being can just be spread so thin. Best wishes in your future endeavors. Keep your nose and your airspeed up. Bob. 1838447 CFIAI
This is the most dispiriting set of posts I’ve seen. This is an aviation forum, people. Not a place for half-witted political spouting. Comments about peoples’ political persuasion, and especially chauvinistic comments about preferred languages are irrelevant. Let’s keep it to aviation and airplanes. There are plenty of other places for expressing irrelevant opinions.
One man's irrelevance is succor to another.
Half-witted is in the eye of the beholder and I guarantee you the traffic here (eyes on) has increased exponentially since related topics are permitted ( Do you think the mods wouldn't shut us down if it didn't increase awareness ð of the site?)
I can tell you my first comments came after someone gave their opinion on an article from a political standpoint and while I never start a conversation about current affairs I will not let an, in my opinion, uniformed and less than accurate statement stand.
We are in very divisive times and it is important to attempt to change a negarive narrative rather than let it fester on.
Again, in my opinion.
Besides, I read the articles and appreciate the emphasis on aviation and its importance in our lives.
Plus it's ever so cool.

There are many clever present and past pilots that we never hear about , some of them were never recognized by which they have contributed and assisted in changes for the flying industry positively.
Each time “ a Pilot (s) Lands an aircraft safely it is a recognized act of heroism.
After all , The unfortunate “ geese “ have taught us how leadership and safety are , the “ geese “ would fly forming a V , there is a “ goose leader “ who encourages the other geese to keep up fly at the front , the rest would follow the flock , when the leader at the front gets tired , the last goose in the far back takes over the front leading the geese. “ when one of the geese lands all the flock of geese would follow.
Let’s logically not worry too much about the future , I promise there will be fine men and women who can contribute to our Airlines.
Please prepare for landing.
