I'm even more impressed with the pilots of US Airways flight 1549 after seeing them on Letterman last night. After a series of serious interviews, they shifted gears for Dave's light-hearted questions about their experience.



Amusing as the Late Show chat was, I do think that we're now in to the 14th minute of fame for Sully and the rest of the crew. I don't want to diminish their heroism or the country's desire to hear about a hero -- but there's a point at which a story gets too much exposure and this one is getting close. They've struck a good balance until now and Sullenberger, in particular, has found the right tone in his interviews. But it's time to disappear for a while. Maybe they can step out of the spotlight and quietly work on a book deal.
