Safety implications are total bs, the moment a plane that has one pilot goes down congress will pass a law than requires a minimum of 6 pilots for every plane.

Safety implications are total bs, the moment a plane that has one pilot goes down congress will pass a law than requires a minimum of 6 pilots for every plane. So that would be idiotic on the part of airlines to lobby for if they suspected significant additional risks. Also keep in mind buses have one driver and it's just as bad if a bus crashes, but I suppose you don't care since you don't take buses much, talk about "elitists".
No one is "fucking employees" when that leads to bottom line growth in a crippling and money losing industry with insane regulations and red tapes like required no smoking signs in brand new airplanes.
- ddalex 4y agoSo you say that no way a company will prioritise short term profits at the expense of a small long term risk ? I'd agree that risk is not affected only if the plane can take off, navigate, land and park on the runway entirely on its own (effectively replacing a pilot)
- lern_too_spel 4y agoSeveral international airlines still allow smoking in the cabin. Passengers transferring from those flights need to be told what to do.

- soheil 4y agoA difference without a difference. A bus crash at 60MPH on a freeway can be just as deadly for everyone inside. There is a deadly bus crash with multiple fatalities almost once a month: https://www.google.com/search?q=bus+crash+multiple+fatalities&tbm=nws https://www.google.com/search?q=bus+crash+multiple+fatalitie...
- hulitu 4y agoMaybe, although you still can recover the bodies. FWIW i wouldn't take Google as a source of information.
- pixl97 4y agoYea, that's some pretty poor research. When a deadly bus crash occurs in the vast majority of cases a few people may die at the impact zone (for example a semi hitting the back of the bus). When a deadly plane accident occur it is very common for there to be no survivors at all.
