What a way to go out. He probably doesn't have time to fly with all the appearances he makes. Good for him.
 
The procedure for ditching is well known. Few pilots ever have to do it. Fewer still survive doing it. It is rare indeed to have to do it with hundreds of people onboard and carry it out with seconds to think about it.
