This story just keeps getting more interesting... That's the CEO in the background, along with the captain who piloted the attention getting flight (second from the right)

did anyone see the report on inside edition last night?? talk about the media trying to scare people......they made it sound like the pilots buzzed some random airport and terrified all the people..... At one point the reporter said "in the background you can hear the observers on the grounds Terrified screams" ok i watched the video, that was boeing field and those were employees cheering the plane on, not terrified airline passengers.... also said he did not have clearance from air traffic control and that he violated FAR's with this menuver....from what ive heard he had permission from atc for the low pass..... aslo they said the airplane was going 350MPH during the pass....i call major BS on that....theres no way he was going any faster than 180-200kts judging by the angle of attack.....this is why i hate the media and why i refuse to watch the news on TV. always trying to scare the crap out of the general public....such a load of BS..newspapers and internet news only for me!!!

ya we all know the ceo was on the flight.....my question is if the ceo said go for it why fire the flight crew later?? was it just the video and public relations that got these guys canned

The CEO was not on board, the Chairman of the Board was though. It was ok until the media got ahold of it.

if i was that pilot i would write a very strongly worded letter to the media and proably seek legal action against the airline for unfair practices, thats just not fair to those pilots

I agree with you on that one. After watching the video, I find it really hard to believe he was going that fast.
