OK, not everyone can be Hudson River hero Capt. Chesley “Sully” Sullen berger. But the public has a right to expect airline pilots who are sufficiently trained, experienced, rested — and healthy enough to fly their planes.

Colgan Air — and government authorities who oversee air safety — fell way short of that standard last winter, as hearings this week into the Feb. 12 crash of Flight 3407 to Buffalo make clear.

Colgan needs to have its wings clipped pronto. And while we’re at it, someoneneeds to light a fire under those see-no-evil bureaucrats at the FAA — the folks, that is, who:

* Abetted conditions leading to the bird strike that brought down Sully’s plane in January.

* Long sought to hide bird-strike data.

* Failed to alert the public to an Air Force One photo-op flyover last month over Lower Manhattan, triggering panic.

Now it turns out that Flight 3407’s pilots were woefully unprepared.

The airline’s practices speak for themselves: It apparently pays pilots peanuts; the flight’s First Officer Rebecca Shaw earned just $16,000 a year. Pilots live far from their bases and commute long distances, skipping critical pre-flight sleep.

Flight Capt. Marvin Renslow didn’t seem to know how to work a critical safety system. Numerous other company rules seem not to be enforced.

Authorities need to crack down not only on Colgan Air, but on any airline with such horrifically shabby practices.

Meanwhile, the Port Authority must act right now to strip Colgan of its landing rights in New York City until the FAA certifies that the airline has cleaned up its act.

Enough is enough.
