Is it safe to fly?

Post by daft twat »

The flights I’ve taken in recent years have been rough. I feel like global warming is causing all sorts of shit.

Remember when a piece of that Alaska Airlines plane just ripped off midflight last year? The fuck?

Feels like crashes are happening (or being reported) more frequently than ever.

I understand it’s still the safest mode of transportation, but the idea of flying again legitimately makes me nervous.

Private pilot: You need at least 40 hours of flight time, including 20 hours of flight training with an instructor and 10 hours of solo flight.
Commercial pilot: You need at least 250 hours of flight time, including solo and as the pilot-in-command.
Airline transport pilot: You need at least 1,500 hours of flight time.

There’s video of the Toronto crash now, hard to tell what happened, but it seems like it was a hard landing. From the fireball and the violence of the roll, I’m shocked everyone survived.
