Mainly, those personal scenes involve Sully recalling his life before becoming a
commercial airline pilot (learning to fly as a young man and another close call while he was in the Air Force), as well as conversations with Jeff Skiles (Aaron Eckhart), his co-pilot
on the fateful
flight, and his wife Lorraine (Laura Linney), whose scenes all take place
on the
phone.
A 28 person advisory panel has recommended during a closed door meeting to ease restrictions
on phones, tablets and e-Readers during takeoffs, and landings of
commercial air
flights.
