So they had to show him on the screen, instead of in person. At least he's consistent.
I was an extra in the scene your mentioning and said sarcastically to another pilot, " I wonder if fred had to join the SAG." Then some office employee, also an extra, said " TN is a right to work state so he didnt have to join" Typical.
Fred also came up to the 8 pilots stupid enough to volunteer two days of work for a castaway hat and said "How much money are they paying you guys to get you to show up out here" Also typical
