I would say the biggest difference here is that the USAir accident had a much different out come than did Colgan. Thus the media and public perception. As a former Colgan pilot I feel for you guys. The group as a whole is being judged based off of the actions of a few.
Sorry but thats the way it is.

Fact is, Sully's a hero, America needs it's hero's and once someone's proclaimed a hero, they can really do no wrong. Sully gets slack (I'm SURE he's broken sterile many times in his career) and others get the guillotine depending on the outcome.
BTW, great water landing.........they're saying it was so hard that a hole was punched in the fuselage, flooding the rear cabin and rendering a rear life reaft useless. Of course, they're investigating on how to blame something else and correct it for this.
Perhaps they'll blame a regional pilot ?

Pilot: Bird warnings from tower of little value - Yahoo! News
A cockpit voice recorder transcript released by the board showed Sullenberger and co-pilot Jeffrey Skiles were admiring the view of the Hudson River less than minute before their plane struck the geese and lost thrust in both engines.
"What a view of the Hudson today," Sullenberger remarked.
"Yeah," Skiles responded.
After all the ****storm from Colgan and such, it would probably come as a shock to all of America that their hero, the mighty Capt Sully, broke sterile cockpit also. Wow...I'm suprised that those 7 words didn't cause him kill everyone onboard!!!! Stupid media. I'm so sick of their witch hunt.

Just so I'm clear, my comments were not meant to attack Sully (the crew did a fine job), but to highlight the hysteria, hypocrisy and error in the media and its puppets, the public.
Now the FAA, who not only APPROVED Colgans training program, but OVERSAW it, must "crack down" on the perceived inadequacies IT has fostered.
Absurdity at its finest.
