Why don’t airlines spend $1000 a plane (3 older gopros and some streaming hardware) on some cameras that ground crew can check before a plane departs? This specific form of stowaway seems like it could be solved with a slight additional pre-flight checklist item before pushing back
- loloquwowndueo 6y agoIf it’s installed in the airplane it has to undergo testing and certification by regulating bodies, this inflates the cost beyond what airlines are willing to invest to save lives. Look for articles about small trivial tweaks to airplanes and the time / cost they incur, it’s insane and stratospheric.
- JackFr 6y ago> this inflates the cost beyond what airlines are willing to invest to save lives I don’t know. If you climb into the wheel well and die, that’s kind of on you, not the airline.
- alexvoda 6y agoIf you climb into the wheel well and break something (electric cables, etc.) and cause the plane to crash, that's on the airline.
- rwmj 6y agoIt costs far far more than $1000 / plane, but modern planes do have cameras around them (Airbus ETACS is one such system).
