   Have you been following along at all? As early as last Saturday the NTSB   
   was reporting that that is exactly what they were doing, based on   
   interviews with the flight crew backed up by the cockpit recorder.   
      
    From Saturday's NYT:   
      
   “My aircraft,” he announced to his first officer, using the standard   
   phrasing and protocol drilled into airline crews.   
      
   “Your aircraft,” Mr. Skiles responded.   
      
   With little thrust, and with the plane’s airspeed falling sharply,   
   Captain Sullenberger lowered the nose to keep his plane from falling out   
   of the sky. And he set his co-pilot to work at moving through a   
   three-page checklist of procedures for restarting both the engines.
