Michael Moore:
[Regarding the February, 2009 crash of Continental flight 3407 in Buffalo, New York]
No one survived the crash, and 50 people lost their lives. The Media focused on the actions of the pilots. Continental air crash reporter:
Capt. Marvin Renslow and First Officer Shaw were chatting about their careers. Michael Moore:
"Careers" is a euphemism for what the pilots were really talking about: how little they were paid, and how overworked they were. There would be no discussion in The Media about why we have an economic system that allows a pilot to be paid less than a manager at Taco Bell
