Stupid question - What happens to all the people he's firing? Isn't he just creating an unemployment crisis?

By contrast, the vast majority of light aircraft pilots I know are 60+, many 70+ with extensive health issues, heart problems and likely comparatively poor reflexes.

Totally. I have my student license and everyone at the field is much older than I am. There's a reason that some plane models are called things like "doctor killers".

Also there's a lot of random pilots up in places like Alaska or crop dusting in middle America that just don't give a fuck about anything. That tends to skew the stats a bit more I think.

Yeah you could totally make that argument. A cessna cruises at around 125 knots (143 mph) and google tells me the speed limit on a US highway is 85 mph.

It's still less safe than driving a car, and not as safe as people assume all flying is (thanks to commercial flying being amazingly safe).

I pasted the links elsewhere, but it's important to differentiate between general aviation (small planes, crop dusters, personal pilots, etc) and commercial flying.

Commercial flying is EXTREMELY safe, ridiculously so. The safety culture is amazing. General aviation does it's best, but at the end of the day people just aren't as responsible in small planes.

I hate to link them, but video of the outside of the plane - https://www.reddit.com/r/aviation/comments/1irthzm/all_survived_video_from_passenger_on_board/

Everyone walked away. How the hell do you land a plane upside down?

Not sure how anything you asked is relevant? At the end of the day, general aviation is not super safe to the standard that people expect from commercial / corporate flights.

Before everyone jumps on politics, not every plane crash is Trumps fault. Small planes are roughly as safe as riding a motorcycle, stuff like this happens all the time.

Welcome!

Huh? Am I missing something because I haven't seen Jaws?

Can you please forward it to us? Ideally as an attachment so I can see the mail headers. Support@fedecan.ca

Oh yes please.

Definitely coincidental, we don't do anything with your email except send registrations / notifications. It never goes anywhere other than lemmy's db.

There's a big fat red delete button at the bottom of your settings page - https://lemmy.ca/settings

Have you seen self adhesive tape? It's a bit nicer at least.

Huh? Instances can't give out emails, that's a privacy violation.

Lemmy doesn't log ips, and the access logs don't contain usernames or id's by default. You would need to modify things to record ips.

Lol nope. Right now registration questions and email validation are the only tools.

Oops, fixed

Leminal.space's pict-rs seems to be was down, so when I expand this I get a broken image icon. I thought that was the css joke at first.

I haven't so I threw it on in the background, it's been good to hear him talk. He seems pretty logical + sensible, doesn't dance around things like a politican.
