Kinda takes the shine off one's airman certificate.
Wow, just saw this...impeccable and courageous!!!!
Plane owners insurance Co should shout him flying lessons .... just saved them an absolute fortune for value of plane & passengers' lives ....
If I were hiring pilots for a major airline, I would offer to hire and train him to airline standards. He obviously can stay calm, think, and execute during a stressful situation. There is a shortage of pilots and he would make a perfect candidate. Come on Delta, United, American, Southwest, Jet Blue, Spirit, UPS and Fed Ex, surely one if you can step up to the plate! Also think of the terrific PR you would benefit from by hiring this individual!
"ATC: Can you tell me how many personnel are on the plane with you?
Passenger: I don’t know. Muffled"
Sounds like there's a LOT more to this story, but great job getting that aircraft on the ground safely! !

Meh - I thought the wording was weird. Define personnel. Don't they normally ask how many souls on board?
Thank all that is good that he was able to keep a cool head and listen carefully to instructions. This is extremely important when dealing with emergencies because yelling, screaming and weeping solves nothing!
I love happy endings like this. BRAVO!!!!
