To the media's credit, I saw another program in which they interviewed a fairly senior ABX pilot that planned to sell his house and pull his daughter out of private school.
The media will extract more ratings generating sympathy by showing the plight of blue collar workers. Relatively speaking, the public would sympathize little, if any, for the aforementioned pilot.
That said, I don't find fault with the 60 Minutes broadcast not interviewing any pilots. After all, 10,000 jobs are going to be lost in a town of 12000.
