Near Midair Collisions: For Airline Passengers, Ignorance Is Bliss
The facts behind our assumed level of safety are less than comforting. (www.flyingmag.com) More...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Interesting. The article has been removed from Flying Magazine's website. I'd prefer that they actually offer a written retraction instead of just deleting the article.
It is saying Access Denied... It could mean that they have pulled it, but it also could mean that they are having issues with their web server as well.
Wow. After having read this article, along with the mess that was the USA Today article several weeks ago, there seems to be an awful lot of misinformation going around. I can't believe this was published in Flying, of all places, especially after the stink they rightfully put up about the USA Today garbage.
What a crock of crap this is. Clickbait sensationalism at its worst.

Doh... Not a good article.
That's right. Forget flight plans, STARs and SIDs. We'll get there by "dumb luck". Sheesh, what a dumb article.
I see from your registration you do not show any flying credentials. Then obviously you do not know what you are talking about.
Ok, fair enough, go ahead and attack my credentials. If indeed, that's all you have to add to this discussion.
However, my comment was to make mention that, while I do not sit in the pointy end, I do recognize the value of proper procedures and regulations in place for safe aviation.
Unless, you're a crop-duster Gene, there are tight tolerances that must be followed in the skies. That doesn't mean that aviation could be all-automated (pilotless) with robots. There will always be the need for pilots. But to insinuate that the success of aviation can be attributed to "dumb luck" is foolish.

Or, more than likely, Michael simply may not have entered those credentials in. No reason to attack the guy and assume he has no experience. For all you know, he might be a 40,000 hour pilot.
