He did the same thing a few years ago when vulcanic ash clouds grounded Europe's air travel.
He hopped into one of his A320 and flew through the ash clouds to prove that it was safe and wouldn't damage the engines.
- Someone 7y agon=1, survivor bias, etc. That doesn’t prove it was safe, it showed it wasn’t 100% lethal. If this had a 1:1000 chance of going wrong, how long would it be before the first plane making an emergency landing or worse? Probably a few days, at most. Who would be blamed for not grounding planes?
