Rock it like Sully—Lessons you can take away from the Miracle on the Hudson.
Speaker: Captain Randy Mains
On January 15, 2009, US Airways flight 1549 made an emergency landing in the
Hudson River shortly after take-off from LaGuardia Airport in New York City.
What isn’t known to the public is that Captain Sully Sullenberger employed an
easy-to-use decision-making tool that he taught to other pilots for 14 years.
Today, Randy Mains will share with you Sully’s secret, by the man who invented
it. Mr. John Ross at US Airways is talking new-hire pilots at Southwest Airlines
through Sully’s flight in an eight-minute case study video from take-off to landing.
Randy will also tell you about the nine hazardous attitudes flight crews must be
made aware of that can cause faulty decision-making, knowledge we can all use in
our daily lives.
Captain Randy Mains’ international aviation career spans more than five decades.
Like Sully Sullenberger, Randy is a trained and internationally certified crew
resource management (CRM) instructor, actively teaching pilots and air crews
around the globe the human factors that can cause faulty decision-making. Taking
it a step further, Randy trains others via Zoom meetings to become CRM
instructors for their organization.
