Flight 1549 Passengers: It’s Not Good Enough That You Saved My Life - I WANT Something

I cannot begin to tell you how disgusted I am by this:

“I think if you survive a plane crash, being upgraded permanently is a good gesture too,” said Fred Berretta, 41, of Charlotte, NC, where the Airbus A320 was headed.

Manhattanite Tess Sosa, who escaped the sinking plane with her husband and two small children, thought the airline was too focused on self-congratulations - and “they want to exonerate themselves as much as they can.”

“They are happy they had such amazing results, and they applaud themselves, and then give us a small token?” she said. “That’s how I take it.”

Get this, lady….the fact that you and all your felow passengers walked away with your selfish behind intact was more than a small token. That pilot did the near impossible - he avoided crashing into a city in a big ball of flame wherein all of you would most certainly have died. Not only that, he dead stick landed in a river and you all walked away, incovenienced but but ALIVE.

Are they “applauding themselves”? Yep, and they have every right to, you moron. You’re still alive to pollute the gene pool. Manhattanite.

And, get this guy:

“You’re going to crash me into the water, and you’re going to tell me all I get is an upgrade?” asked Antonio Sales, 20, who was traveling with the University of South Carolina’s track team. “That’s more of an ‘OK, you’re not dead, I’ll give you something to hold on to.’ It’s not enough at all.”

Way to man up, Antonio.

I guess he’s missing the point that they didn’t deliberately crash him into the water for funsies. They did it to save his life after GEESE hit the planes engines.

Not only should these people not be howling for more, they should be throwing rose petals at US Airlines employees wherever they see them, especially that pilot.. Ungrateful, childish, self centered example of me-me-me America.

Wanna sue somebody? Sue the geese. They did it. All that pilot did was save your lives after something that was completely beyond his or the airline’s control happened.

I’d spit in disgust right now but I don’t know how to spell it.
