Yep. That said, I don't believe charging them with manslaughter is the way to push back.

  Oh, agreed. I suspect doing so would just exacerbate the supply/demand issue further.

    Why not? A pilot that works beyond their duty day will get a manslaughter charge if the flight results in the death of a passenger or person on the ground. Whats the difference?
    • jjoonathan 8y ago
      Morally? Nothing. Economically? Everything. We have an oversupply of pilots, so we can afford to be harsh/abusive without fear of it boomeranging.

      It's an extremely unusual situation where if a person isn't flown immediately, they will die. It isn't that rare for people to need immediate medical attention.
