1. K&R!!!!!!!

2. Indeed! She was cool as a cucumber.

She deserves this appreciation. I’m deliberately gated and gratified to see it.

Like most if not all professional pilots, she takes her job mightily seriously. And thank God for that. Those passengers were all saved, all but the one, because of her courage and ability to stay calm and focused. I guess a fire-tested Navy pilot will get that way.

Maybe the first one.

8. Indeed! Did you hear the cockpit audio of Tammie Jo Shults?

She calmly reports the plane is damaged and a passenger was pulled out of a window.
All the while the jetliner is tilting to one side. A long 20-minute ride to the runway.
