 US Airways Captain Henry Jones and First Officer Jim Dannahower were later awarded a Superior Airmanship Award from the Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA) for their quick reactions and expert adjustment of their takeoff maneuver.The NTSB completed its investigation and found that the east tower controller had given the west tower controller permission for the Aer Lingus to depart on 15R.While coordinating other traffic, he forgot about releasing that aircraft and cleared the US Airways for takeoff.
