At least the 3rd airplane incident with 45 back in the seat..
Guess billionaires always go first now with their private jets
Wish we would ban commercial private jets, yes for everyone also Taylor
Gotta start somewhere
a whole bunch of assholes are about to find out that (surprise surprise):
1. laws of physics cannot be waived by presidential executive order
and
2. aviation is a fragile thing and it has a lot of requirements in the skill tree
looking forward to the new golden era of passenger rail in the us of a.
@maybenot If you’re having safety concerns about U.S. aviation, I have some real bad news about the state of our railroads.
@maybenot 3.) Turns out all those ATCs and airline pilots hired because of DEI policies were actually good hires who were doing important work to avoid plane crashes.
Who knew?
@maybenot (I'm reminded of my StackExchange answer here on why space ship traffic might be controlled by humans rather than by A.I. systems [ https://worldbuilding.stackexchange.com/a/237030 ].
In short: if it looks like your ATCs are "Government waste", it's because they're doing their job, and things are generally okay. Once things are not okay, they'll definitely look like they're not being "Government waste".)
@maybenot not til we move away from grade level crossings and build for high speed rail
@stux private jet crash rate is about 5-10x that of commercial
@stux
Another day (under #Trump), another #air_safety incident.
@stux only the third? maybe. I liked Jimmy Rees’s latest video showing air traffic controllers responding to Elon’s email while planes crash. But sure, fire more of them… who needs the aviation industry anyway? (snark)
