Boeing Aircraft Reliability, 747 Longevity, Pilot Sully Sullenberger
The reliability of modern Boeing aircraft is questioned following several mishaps, including an engine failure at LaGuardia and a crash in Amsterdam. John Dvorak shares an anecdote about flying on a 747-400, noting that pilots find the older models more reliable than newer "plastic" planes. Meanwhile, Captain "Sully" Sullenberger has reportedly signed a $3 million deal for two books, including a book of poetry.
