Sometimes, simply keeping a cool head and rmeembering your training despite the pressure is all you need to be a real hero.

Thanks, Sully!

Translation: "If there's a movie I'm set for life."

Surviving a plane crash can be pretty traumatic, especially when you were at the helm. I can't blame him from wanting to step away from actively flying planes for a living.

4 years ago he would've been forced to retire in less than a year anyway. (FAA changed max age from 60 to 65.) He may have never changed his plans to retire at 60.
