FRESNO, Calif. - US Airways pilot Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger, who landed his jetliner in the Hudson River on Jan. 15, is every librarian's hero, too.
Left in the plane's cargo hold was a book Sullenberger had checked out from California State University, Fresno, through his local library near Danville.
Library officials say Sullenberger asked for an extension and waiver of overdue fees.
The pilot and his spokeswoman didn't return messages seeking comment yesterday.
The librarians say they were struck by Sullenberger's sense of responsibility and did him one better: They are waiving all fees and dedicating the replacement book to him.
The book's subject? Professional ethics.
