Using false claims of a “pilot shortage,” some airlines are trying to drastically cut the training and qualification requirements that keep our skies safe.
But the fact is, higher safety standards are working. Since new regulations were implemented in 2010, airline fatalities have dropped 99.8 percent in the U.S.
We sat down with Paul Ryder, a United Airlines pilot, to talk more about this important issue.
“Pilot training and experience are why aviation is the safety way to travel. What we don’t need is airlines using their challenges to undermine safety” –Paul Ryder.
