I can't believe the CEO of Continental Airlines said that regional airline flying is not the same and shouldn't require the same experience as mainline flying, therefore pay should not be the same............obviously he is not a pilot.

I'm pretty shocked and angry that they let that fired FO come on the show and smear his fired captain's name very publicly. What the other two pilots said are accurate, but that FO pretty much ruined it for me. There is a lot more to the story than what he said. They could've showed so many real examples yet they bring up this incident that had nothing to do with the accident/safety and everything to do with a scumbag out to ruin another pilot's career and life. Apparently it wasn't enough that the capt will never be able to work as a pilot ever again, his name is revealed on public TV as a dangerous rule breaker.

He is very out of touch and arrogant. So we should be happy about management having an advocate who accurately reflects their general attitude.
