Captain

When this photo first flashed on the screen, Cow kept waiting for a reference to the Captain's daughter, or girlfriend, or perhaps a young passenger who bravely sought to assist.

No, she's the co-pilot. Paid so little she still lived at home, commuted to her job and often slept in the office overnight. So inexperienced. So young. Pictured in her graduation gown.

Yet each passenger probably paid just as much as they would have to fly with experienced pilots.

Too bad, when selecting your airline, your flight times, your seat, you can't also select your pilot. Sully Sullenberger of the Hudson River landing would be worth paying a premium for.

Moo!
