Ed Bastian was asked about the pilot of the doomed plane on Wednesday morning and he insisted the crew was “experienced.” “I can’t provide any details…it’s an ongoing investigation,” Ed Bastian said. In response to a question about the pilots, Ed Bastian said, “It was an experienced crew.”

While CEO Ed Bastian tells CBS Mornings he can “understand” why people would be afraid to fly right now, he says that air travel in the U.S. is “safer than the car ride I took this morning to get to my office."
