That was 10 years ago. He resigned in 1998 and held various trainer positions afterwards. He was fired as the Nigerian National Trainer in February 2008.
So I guess he was just looking at the job market in the US

Feb 21 1665 IAD-SJU -- Carl Cameron sitting in 1D on Ted.
Thought he might be going down to scout out the June Dem Primary, but he said it was strictly vacation.

It was a very good talk, but since he was speaking to a room of pilots and avionics engineers, it turned into a detailed discussion of the flight and the experience. Absolutely one of the best couple of hours of my career!
Amen to him being a real celebrity and hero.

And here is a pre-emptive strike before a "who is Al Haynes" post (for the newer FT'ers) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_Haynes

I had the honor of seeing Capt. Haynes speak about 10 years ago at a company I was working at. He was doing a talk on teamwork based on the UA232 experience.
It was a very good talk, but since he was speaking to a room of pilots and avionics engineers, it turned into a detailed discussion of the flight and the experience. Absolutely one of the best couple of hours of my career!
