This video comes to mind:

I've watched the movie and that particular clip several times. There is no way for us to know what the outcome of UA1549 would have been with other pilots. I'm sure there would be a range of different outcomes, not all good, depending on who was flying the airplane. Obviously there is no way to know, but I think the passengers of UA1549 were very lucky Sullenberger and Skiles were at the controls.

I don't have the same feeling in the case of ET302. (Before I'm attacked for having this opinion, I have just as much right to have an opinion as anyone else.)
