John I believe another factor linking the gimli and hudson incidents is that both captains are experienced glider pilots.

Reminds me of the Gimli glider, which was a good example of airmanship but a bad example of fuel management.

It mostly didn't help that Air Canada was switching from pounds to kilograms, the FQIS on that plane wasn't working, and somebody botched the conversion prior to loading the fuel.
