great movie

glad they portrayed the NTSB as a bunch of incompetent assholes instead of going with the "all government agencies are perfect in every way" meme that's so popular these days

Their depiction of the NTSB is the biggest criticism, though. They weren't incompetent or adversarial; they called the pilots heroes throughout the investigation, and there's no truth in the scenario that Sullenberger had to tell them what parameters to use for the simulation.

Still, there needed to be someone to be the antagonists. It was a fantastic movie, otherwise.

Yeah, I know. Hence why it's "based" on a true story. Even if the NTSB did their job flawlessly in real life, I would hate to see that in a movie. They're the government, and their depiction should be a negative one.

He plays a fantastic character, too. It's a shame I've never heard of Skiles before the movie.

No need for the truth if it doesn't fit your reality, huh?

The truth is that 60% of government institutions are incompetent or corrupt. Even though a few aren't doesn't mean the portrayal of them in the media should be positive.
