Going by my quick and dirty research, the US Airways pilot who had to land an AirBus A320 in the Hudson River has done what most “experts” (including El Douche Mejor, Ralph Nader) claimed was impossible or at least really improbable: to land on water with no loss of life.

Now, I’m the first person to criticize US Air for being one of the shittiest airlines I’ve ever flown on from an operations perspective.  But I’d want this dude flying whatever plane of theirs I was riding on FOR SURE.  Problem is, I don’t know how he’s able to fit his gigantic testicles into the cockpit (no pun intended) to pilot the craft.  That, in itself, is impressive.

Now, if I was on that plane, I think I’d have at least dribbled a little down my leg before the waters of the Hudson washed it away.  But being the guy at the (wheel? rudder? stick?) and realizing that both of the engines just had a tasty meal of fresh Canada Goose must really really suck.  This guy deserves a raise.

I feel like a mindless messenger bag toting Obama voter for mentioning it, but credit goes to the Crappington Post for the photo of the pilot.
