“My Aircraft”
“Your
Aircraft”
Changing my attitude
Changes my life!
(Or in this case saved 155 lives!)
The co-pilot was flying the plane
when the birds hit.
That’s when Sully made his simple
statement, ”My
aircraft”.
Without hesitation, his co-pilot replied,
“Your aircraft.”
What if he had said, “Why?
you think I can’t handle this! I’m perfectly qualified
to take care of this situation.! Who do you think you
are, anyway? Mr. Know- it -all!” ( but he didn’t) What a different situation we might have
ended up with!
And what if Sully had had any other
attitude than the one he had? He knew he was the more qualified in this
situation--but flying a glider plane with no power is not quite the same as
flying an Airbus with no power... Still he accepted the responsibility, as did
each of the crew members to do all the
tasks they
had been trained for but never expected to have to execute.
Sully’s
attitude, the co-pilot’s attitude and every member of the crew’s attitudes
created a miracle.
Does anybody doubt that a Higher Power’s
attitude also had something to do with it?
What a different ending to this story we might have had, if each of those stressed
people had copped a bad attitude instead of the very positive one they each
exhibited!
Changing my attitude
Changes my life.
It’s easy!
(Well usually, it’s easy!)
