I wonder if the FAA even has enough data on fatality to do something like increase the fatality risk by 0.1% or something. Commercial air travel is so ridiculously safe and has been for decades; would they even have enough of a sample to estimate that with any accuracy? Particularly around something like having fewer ATC available, since I'm guessing even fewer of the rare accidents have that as a cause?
- jacquesm 1y agoThis is one of those annoying safety paradoxes, subtly linked to the prevention paradox. The better you get at getting rid of the incidents the lower the rate, the longer it will take to gather data to improve further. There is a similar curve involved when it comes to debugging. High frequency bugs are easy to squash. Low frequency ones can be really hard.
