Actually, the email signaled to CBS that their show will be watched by every
pilot in the country. No doubt there are CBS executives sitting around
saying, "That worked pretty well. Let's do it again."

So here I am, ready to write something. I see your point, but what
alternative is there to complaining? I don't like the idea of ignoring it.

What do people suggest?

BTW, I was planning to ask when they'll be discussing the fact that trucks
can go anywhere without flight plans or talking to ground traffic control.
Considering how often trucks have been used in terrorist attacks, both
world-wide and in the US, this is terrifying.

I wasn't even going to mention that I'm a pilot (it's not really relevant to
my point).

Besides what I posted above, I PS'd my email to CBS by telling them to relay
a message to their advertisers that I will no longer be viewing any CBS
shows, including their network news. Then I emailed a local FBO owner who
promptly got a hold of the nearest CBS affiliate to interview him. No where
did I indicate that I was a pilot.
