I think one of the comparison points has been missed is the key to his calmness. He has trained endlessly for emergencies, he has a plan drilled into him. In flying, emergency procedures are a large chunk of training and the more advanced you go the more you know about systems, and emergency procedures and a plan has been written and studied. Although this situation in specific may not have been trained for, all the other scenarios built in the plan of action, and how to make decisions when under severe stress. Kind of like successful traders, you have a plan, and it includes fat finger accidents, power outages(in my case a f**kin semi taking out the power lines a couple blocks over...twice!), on the wrong side of a news release, etc..
