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.

Chesley Sullenberger: Flying has been my lifelong passion. But while I love my profession, I do not like what has happened to it. It is my personal experience that my decision to remain in the profession I love has come at a great financial cost to me and to my family. My pay has been cut 40%. My pension, like most airline pensions, has been terminated. So please do not think I exaggerate when I say that I do not know a single professional airline pilot who wants his or her children to follow in their footsteps.
Wallace Shawn: The basic law of life is that if you have things, you can easily get more things. Very quickly, one guy can have five times more than anybody else.

The first thought is: you can't be reduced to the kind of working class that can't protect your own interests. The two opposing classes in the film, the biggest difference between the poor and the rich is the knowledge they possess. Knowledge really is power. I cannot criticize the rich for depriving the poor of their money and property, but I must prevent myself from becoming a poor person.
