Sullenberger retired from US Airways in 2010, after 30 years as a commercial pilot. In 2011, he was hired by CBS News as an aviation and safety expert.
Sullenberger is the co-author, with Jeffrey Zaslow, of the ''New York Times'' bestseller ''Highest Duty: My Search for What Really Matters'', a memoir of his life and of the events surrounding Flight 1549. His second book, ''Making a Difference: Stories of Vision and Courage from America's Leaders'', was published in 2012. He was ranked second in ''Time''s ''Top 100 Most Influential Heroes and Icons of 2009'', after Michelle Obama.
In 2021, President Joe Biden announced he would nominate Sullenberger as U.S. representative to the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) with the rank of ambassador. He was confirmed by unanimous consent in the Senate and served in that role from February 3 to July 1, 2022. Provided by Wikipedia
