Airlines are lobbying for a change to federal regulations that could put one pilot in the cockpit

Ridiculous. Gonna be a situation where something happens to a pilot and they gonna find the kid who got the most flight hours in a video game to land that mf. Like Keenan in some movie.

Why is there pilot shortage though. I thought it was a highly paid career

 

[JoelB]

that 'pretty much' you using is farrrr too general breh

Imagine a flight attendant trying to explain that after the only pilot dies

"You know how technology is...it can pretty much sort of land by itself

aint nothing to be worried about"

Maybe they need to give some flight school scholarships, and start recruiting at colleges and high schools.

I mean you can fly a plane with one pilot but if you flying a commercial airline with passengers that's why you use 2 right?!? Have they not seen flight???! if Denzel wasn't there they would have all died

Germanwings written all over this

I will stop flying if this ever happens

Being a pilot would be my dream career.

I'm running straight to school if this happens

I read years ago that no insurance company would ever insure an airliner flown by one person.

When airlines received money during Covid, one stipulation of receiving federal funds was to not layoff employees. Instead, airlines gave a lot of employees a package to retire early. Overall, I'm really starting to question if this worker shortage is intentional.

yea have a pilot locked in the front of the plane alone so if anything goes wrong you won’t even know.

60% of the time it works everytime

 

[Son Goku]

It's cool, I can take over if something happens.

Barrier to entry is high due to cost. Flight lessons are expensive as fukk.

The correct thing to do would be to subsidize pilot training but we’re the dumbest fukking country on the planet completely incapable of fixing any problems
