"Alternate Law"... that about sums it up.

Mark,

That is my understanding. 

I own one of the few schools allowed to teach JAA/EASA professional courses in the USA. 

Europe is all about theoretical knowledge and our students are in a Boeing or Bus at 250 hours, flying for a European airline where here in FAA land it is all about practical experience and do not expect to be flying a Boeing or Bus for a major airline till around 7,000 hours of flight experience. 

The design of aircraft use those philosophies. EU is all about automation and taking as much of the pilot out of the loop as possible. The US is all about the pilot.

Hi Richard,
 I love the Reflector, I learned something new.
 So correct me if I'm wrong, a software parameter prevented the flightcrew from getting what thrust the engines could produce despite the damage, for the program over-rode the throttle position asked for and selected FLIGHT IDLE to prevent further damage? This is the same fly-by-wire bad programming that sent that Airbus into the trees on a low pass at the Paris Air Show years ago.
 That almost cooked Sully's goose.

 Let me see if I can capture my thoughts on this;

'If it ain't Boeing, I ain't Going!'

 I think that says it.

Mark,

The difference is with Airbus, if the A320 systems detect damage to an engine, the system takes the engine and puts it in idle not to further damage the engine. Boeing does not do this. 

While the engines would develop anything close to full power with a B737 they would have been able to get enough thrust to make it to Teterboro. 

If you listen to the CVR, Sully and Skiles spent most of their time to getting the engines out of idle before landing in the Hudson.

Hi Richard,
 I didn't know Rolls or GE had developed a Goose-Proof engine. Or rather a Flock-O-Geese-Proof engine.
 The Frogs tried the 'Foie Gras' engine which was a proven failure.
 Funny enough, with the Foie Gras you were supposed to be able to eat the goose after it passed through the engine. The engine was to literally cook your goose...
 Those Frogs! Had it only worked!

Well if Sully had been flying a Boeing and not an Airbus, no one would know his name.
