Hero Pilot or Douche?

Ok, it's been almost a month already and that fake hero pilot guy, Chelsey B. Sullenberger the 3rd,  is still in the news.

I was holding back from posting about him, his name alone makes him a douche in my book,

but then he was honored during last nights Superbowl.

Enough is enough already...

He is not a hero!

All he did was his job.

Is a busboy a hero when he takes plates from the table to the dishwasher?

A hero is defined as somebody that goes above and beyond 

to save or protect someone else.

First off, he didn't go above or beyond anything, obviously not even the birds.

He landed the plane in water, soft velvety water.

Water is way more forgiving that concrete, so it didn't even have to be an A+ landing.

Lastly he didn't try and save anyone else by not crashing the plane horribly...

he was trying to save himself.

I guarantee you the only person he was thinking about was himself. 

The only way he should be declared a hero is if everyone survived except him,

If he somehow had to sacrifice his own life for everybody else to live, 

then i'd throw a dog a bone and let the family put hero on his tombstone.

But landing a plane(which is a key point in his job description) does not make him hero...

A better than average pilot? Yeah, maybe, but not hero.

Now if a bird crashed through the window and decapitated the pilot 

and a passenger or the stewardess with the gimp leg had to land the plane 

then they would be a hero. 

It's a Bird, It's a Plane, It's a.....fucking pilot doing his job!
