Media is once again the enemy. Crashes happen. They are just getting more clicks right now so they are getting reported more.
Yep! I genuinely believe this is an effort to 1) keep Americans too scared to leave and 2) keep foreigners too scared of coming in
Idk about all that. I feel like the media latches onto things that are getting clicks which makes the public more concerned something is happening more which means more people click on it.
It's a disgusting feedback loop that ends up just making people feel shitty.
They lack bowel control and object permanence
Does this mean airlines are going to drop prices to drive tickets sales? Because I'm due for a vacation...
No, they're going to demand government handouts, then spend it on stock buybacks and executive bonuses. Then demand more government money.
I am a aircraft mechanic and I can tell you most of us take our jobs very seriously. Those that dont, don't get put on the bigger jobs. We take our job very seriously. Air travel is safe. I am extremely careful with my job. I always think about safety and how what I'm doing effects folks.
It's not that you don't take your job seriously, it's that the same amount of work still needs to be done with less people and less oversight. People get tired. People make mistakes when they're tired and overworked.
Flying is going to become exponentially more dangerous in the coming years.
Everything is
An aside from the main point here, but I haven't read much about the Toronto Pearson crash. Does it have anything to do with US air control or regulations (like plane maintenance) or is it just being lumped it?
From what I've been able to tell the Pearson crash was a fucking fluke. Actual details tend to be released slowly though so one of the theories (incorrect de-icing before take off) will take a long time to prove or disprove.
Of course not.
I believe it's due to bad weather and strong winds.
It seems to be just lumped in. The NTSB is only supporting Canada's investigation into the accident, not leading it.
Glad I don't have a job that requires a lot of travel anymore. There ain't no way.
