BTW Capt Haynes came to our college and talked to the students (would
be airline pilots) several times.

I've always admired Captain Haynes. He's a first class guy who, when the
chips were down, along with his crew, rewrote the book on the definition of
cockpit maturity, professionalism, and responsibility.
The events at Sioux City, as awe inspiring as they were, are just part of
what this guy is all about. It's how he acted after the crash that really
spells out the tremendous personal integrity and character of Captain
Haynes. His low key handling of the events that followed, and his going way
past what he had to do in making sure that the community gained maximum
flight safety benefit from what he had learned at Sioux City makes him much
more than the average bear.

Its amazing how calm and collected he was during the whole incident, when he
knew things looked very bad.

That ability to stay calm and rational, undoubtedly helped many people survive
something which could have turned out far far worse.
