It was a meeting of two networks at 30,000 feet recently, when CBS’s Gayle King found herself seated next to Fox News’s Jesse Watters on a cross-country flight.

The host posted to Instagram Monday:

Two TV people from competing networks walk on to a plane and to the surprise of them both, they’re seated right next to each other for over four hours. How did it go? Speaking for @jessewatters here: A good time was had by all! Hi, Jesse…saving your number!

One woman replied to the post, “I love when we can disagree and maintain civility and respect. Great stuff,” while another wrote, “That makes for a very interesting 4 hour flight.”
