After seeing the Congressional testimony of pilot Chesley " Sully " Sullenberger , who reported that over his career , his salary had been cut by 40 percent and his pension , like most airline pensions , was terminated and replaced by a " PBGC " guarantee worth only pennies on the dollar , Moore interviews other airline pilots on their experiences . They corroborate this , reporting low pay , massive debt , being on food stamps and taking second jobs . Moore notes that pilots being overworked and underpaid did n't enter into the media discussion following the crash of Colgan Air Flight 3407 . He says that capitalism allows people to get away with anything , including making a profit from someone 's death . He speaks to the family of a man who worked for Amegy Bank of Texas , which had secretly taken out a life insurance policy on him , with itself as the beneficiary , and then accidentally wrote to his widow , telling her that they were receiving a $ 1.5 m payout because he died of cancer . He wonders how this can be legal when he is prohibited from taking out home insurance on someone else 's property
