Don't know how the alternate gear control works on a 767 but not
as
well as the simple mechanical up lock release on the DC's and
MD's it
would seem. *Never mind how well it was landed gear up - why
weren't
the wheels down?

One of the responses:

Glider
Hmm, USAir into the Hudson - Sully is glider pilot, here - glider
pilot. Do I see a pattern (ok, n=2 is not a pattern, I know). Would it
be a good idea to have the guys start with glider training before
going to powered planes. Maybe 1 year or so (maybe 6 mo) longer
training but saved lives?

or perhaps having a glider pilot as your captain is bad luck!
