Resurrecting an old thread (though perhaps more relevant in light of the UA328 incident last month) to share a phenomenal interview with Captain Chris Behnam, who commanded UA1175 on 2/13/18. If you have an hour to kill, I can't recommend this enough.


It's a tremendous discussion of airmanship, CRM, crew coordination in an emergency, and a rather illuminating look at how close this flight came to a disastrous ending. Kudos to Captain Behnam, FO Ayers and FO Gagarin for their skilled management of a very serious failure, a feat that certainly deserves more recognition.
