Did anyone listen/watch the video of the non swimmer that was the control tower operator? Told the pilot to proceed to a runway after a collision he caused for takeoff… Pilot was pissed. Not I.

I worry less about the pilots...
And more about 300 fat unwashed fuggs over-stressing the air-frame. Them things are so overbuilt, redundant built, and safety margined (if properly maintained and loaded) that you can quit worrying. Human error in servicing, loading, and piloting is much more common. The mechanical stuff covers their asses, a lot. Not to mention the crazies that make the cockpit after eating 'shrooms.....

When people face the possibility of freezing or starving there is little chance they are going to listen to unfounded claims of climate doomsday from a bunch of ultra-rich yacht sailing private jet-setting carbon-spewing hypocrite elites

if a man speaks, and there isn't a woman around to hear him, is he still wrong?

Safer than driving a car with half the.people on the road playing with their stupid phones.

I worry less about the pilots...
And more about 300 fat unwashed fuggs over-stressing the air-frame. Them things are so overbuilt, redundant built, and safety margined (if properly maintained and loaded) that you can quit worrying. Human error in servicing, loading, and piloting is much more common. The mechanical stuff covers their asses, a lot. Not to mention the crazies that make the cockpit after eating 'shrooms..... Regardless... the stench of 250 unwashed hoontangs on 300 pound hogs... leads me to the summary conclusion that if I need to go to Hawaii... I will drive.
If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

I quit flying commercial when I discovered that the FAA was no longer requiring those applying for a Commercial rating were not required to know proper procedure to recover from a stall\spin!
Even birds know not to land downwind!

I've flown over a million miles without any major incident. Now being treated like cattle sucks, every it year seems to be worse along with the passengers. I quit the heavy travel in 2017 and don't really miss it. When I traveling a lot, I was almost always bumped to first class, which is mildly better than coach.

Yes, I understand statistics. It's very safe, but has become an uncomfortable hassle and I won't fly anymore unless it's necessary.

Well, we're all going to end up in the ground eventually and usually without notice. Is one way any better than another? Your chance of dieing in a airplane crash is much smaller than just about any other event so I don't sweat the danger part. What I do concern myself with is how poorly the airlines treat us at times- that really pisses me off... Aren’t the chances of dying in an airplane crash pretty high? Seems like there are rarely any survivors.

Beats walking and as I cannot walk or drive to work, it's all I got. But have over 1.4 million miles in the air just with Delta. So far, so good.

I love the screaming, snotty nose, hacking, un-disciplined 2-4 year olds too. So God said, " You have led such an examplary life, my man, I will grant you one wish while still alive" "I'd like a road to Hawaii" "That's pretty tough. How about something else?" " I want to understand women" "Would that be 2-lane or 4?"
