The makers comment about having a pilot flying/responsible for multiple flights at once is BS.
If I'm going to die in a plane crash the pilot better be coming with me!
Yes I know safety. I am all about statistics when used right. And part of what makes planes safe is we have an advocate with the airlines that has at least some authority on the plane with us.
Or you with the pilot when they decide to suicide, which has happened before.
But yeah, I agree that this is very unlikely to happen for regulatory reasons.
This is why you have 2 pilots/crew members in the cockpit at all times. Europe introduced this regulation after the last crash by suicide.
The only Ron White joke I still like is about beating emergency services to the crash site by at least 20 minutes.
