Maybe CNN will hire him?

That sucks. I don't think CNN had a problem on how he dressed or the reporter.

CNN and Martin Savidge have moved on to submersibles...

Haha... Never want to hear of someone losing their job.. But the first time I saw that dude on CNN I thought "wow, that's weird that they have a sim tech running the simulator for this reporter".. Oops!

No kidding. If pilots were able to be canned for looking like this guy, there would be one helluva pilot shortage.

The person that should be fired is whomever allowed CNN to do that in the first place. Nothing good can come from feeding the media frenzy.

He worked at a dopey operation with a cobbled together FTD used mainly by kids and sim nerds. NOT a simulator. Nor a professional instruction facility. Just a high end gee wiz experience for entertainment.
