One would hope that if you have an ATPL 100% would be able to do it.The better question is... how many of you could land a plane in the hudson with everybody alive and exactly 1 person with hypothermia?
The hardest thing about flying is knowing when to say no
After over a half a century of flying no one ever died because of my decision not to fly.

Just above the skills of a PPL who passed the exams?
There has to be a base line.

I think I could land on the Hudson no prob...hopefully no one would fall off the floats though and get hypothermia.

What? They finally did away with that pesky hour requirement for the ATPL? Man, I HAVE been out of Canada too long!the key word being "hope"
