Michael Mosley: Ted Vanderway

Quotes 

• Ted Vanderway : I will not be bested by some tubes and wires from 1952!

• Dean Lowrey : Ted!

  [Ted turns and starts to walk back towards Dean] 

  Dean Lowrey : Right place at the right time. That's how I jumped the line. I was downtown, headquarters, I got stuck in an elevator with Juan Trippe for 11 minutes. I figured, I got nothing to lose, so I told him what I thought about his pilot seniority system. And I asked him, I said, "Do you want to be part of the past, or do you want to be part of the future?" World War II vets versus what's happening right now with you and me - the jet age. Sometimes you just get lucky.

  Ted Vanderway : Now we make our own luck, Captain. Sometimes you just got to step up.

  [Dean starts to walk away] 

  Ted Vanderway : Buy you a drink?

  Dean Lowrey : Twist my arm?

  Ted Vanderway : Please - no more violence.
