Jeppesen actually published this approach...

A number of the acronyms are real ones (like "SAAAR" and "ETOPS") and the wags at Jeppesen edited them for the task at hand.

It is probably funnier for aviation folk, but even us groundies can get a chuckle out of it (cooked goose transition? classic!). Thanks!

There are people who think to do things to honor others, and this is a splendid example. (It was already in Wikipedia's article about flight 1549.)

 Jeppensen has been around for a long time and is respected. I read it, some really good subtle sense of humor. "ETOPS (Engines turning or people swimming)" Sulley, V/R *Thank you!*

The Wiki entry on Flight 1549 included an interesting (to me) tidbit:
Having twice walked the length of the cabin to confirm that no one remained inside after the plane had been evacuated, the captain was the last person to leave the aircraft. (my emphasis)
A true professional....

I guess they probably won't let him into the New York Uniformed Sanitationmen's Association, then.  As I understand it, he didn't demand overtime for EITHER pass through the cabin...
