Former ace Navy pilot ID'd as hero who landed damaged Southwest flight: report Hmmmm. Not taking away from what she did to save that flight, but "ace" has a very specific meaning among and about pilots and I don't it is being used accurately here. |

Do you think SHE had anything to do with the headline? Obviously not. I'm sure if you asked her, she'd agree that the term "ace" probably isn't applicable. Anyway, good for her for doing her job well. She saved a lot of lives. |

Ace?
She has 5 air to air kills?

She kept calm, landed the plane and was genuinely concerned about the passengers.
I bet if you ask the passengers, she was an ace yesterday. |

What’s makes this event even more amazing, but I guess it’s the norm for airliners these days, is that apparently she was the only pilot in the crew.
Imagine an inflight emergency like this and you have to do everything all by yourself; good thing she was formerly an F-18 pilot so she was used to being the only pilot onboard. I thought it was pretty standard throughout the industry to have (at least) two pilots in the cockpit but I guess it would save some $ to have only one pilot/aircraft. |

There was a catastrophic loss of an engine at altitude. The woman landed the plane safely.

Who wants that kind of attention? granted real life isn't a simulator , I am sure this is something she has trained for many times guessing she just feels like she did her job and the attention is uncomfortable |

She did a good job, but as a navy pilot, I'm pretty sure this is something that you train for quite a bit, and I'm sure you get a good dose of it in commercial training.

What makes this lady a hero? In my opinion, it is the media coverage, because with out that, we would not know of her actions. So we should be congratulating the media for their courageous reporting of this hero.
