Every pilot thinks they're the best pilot in the world. I think I'm the best pilot.

I was a mechanic in the Navy. And mechanics in the Navy are like mechanics in airlines. You may have more stripes than I do, but you don't know how to fix the airplane.

You have to begin to put the infrastructure in place to put in high-speed trains...It should be a national priority. If the French can do it, why cant we?

You don't lie to your own doctor. You don't lie to your own attorney, and you don't lie to your employees.

I've spent my life as an airplane mechanic, pilot, aircraft manufacturer and airline CEO who never lost a life or an airplane. I am considerate of the risk we take every time we fly. I also know we need to fly and always to improve safety.

Whether I'm at the hangar or at the airport or on an airplane, I get respect. And that's the best part of my day.
