Is Sully Sullenberger retired?
I was listening to the Reagan National Airport ATC this morning and I'm pretty sure I heard Sullenberger piloting Delta 1464 the return flight Delta 1995. Am I crazy or was that actually him?

Yes, he’s retired. (I believe he never flew commercially again after the accident)
And he flew for US Airways, which became American. Not Delta.

He flew again after the accident. In fact, his first flight carrying passengers was LGA - CLT.

Here is the audio, you can hear him at 28:10.

I guess it's not him, sounds pretty similar though. I wonder if Sullenberger has a midwest accent or something.

He's from Texas.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong but I think his last departure city was from FLL. There was audio of it posted on A.net I think.

It was an A320 on FLL-CLT on March 3, 2010.

I wonder if he did that on purpose.

Tom Hanks looked hot as Sully in the movie.
