We have made flying so cheap, I'm afraid we are going to make it cheap at any cost.

One of the things I teach my children is that I have always invested in myself, and I have never stopped learning, never stopped growing.

That's what we're trained to do.

There's simply no substitute for experience in terms of aviation safety.

I think it's become an economic necessity for people to be able to learn and grow throughout their lives, because most people can't get through their entire career with one skill set. We have to keep reinventing ourselves.

My message going forward is that I want to remind everyone in the aviation industry - especially those who manage aviation companies and those who regulate aviation - that we owe it to our passengers to keep learning how to do it better.

Each generation of pilots hopes that they will leave their profession better off than they found it.
