Not surprisingly, he's holding glider ratings as well. But as a fan of CRM, I'd like to underline that the copilot was flying and Captain Sullenberger decided to take-over after the strike. Taking this decision, accepting it, and managing the whole thing (including evacuation) demonstrated how good the whole crew (Captain, First Officer and 3 cabin crew) was. But I know, for media it's well better to have a single hero. Definitely a brilliant pilot. Not surprisingly, he’s holding glider ratings as well.

And yet true to American greed, the vultures - ie lawyers, are already gathering to see what they can sue him for! His next flight needs to be with about 15o litigation lawyers. Dump them into the water, and let them sink! A very brave man. And yet true to American greed, the vultures – ie lawyers, are already gathering to see what they can sue him for!
