imagine being Nathan Fielder and doing all that work to try and improve airline safety just to be splattered into oblivion by a bombardment of 737s crashing into LA 😞

Great fucking show
As an airline mechanic I was required 1600 hours of schooling to get my license....
Edit: and if you missed any of that time it had to be made up before you could continue.
I think a lot of people don't understand how difficult working in aviation is.
Every plane is different and has to be treated as such. 777 and 737 are completely different.
I guess we finally found out what would happen if we let CEOs run the country.
Appointing CEOs is the fuck around part. The find out part comes later when the planes start crashing.
Boeing already to care of that.
So can other countries just refuse to allow US commercial planes to enter their airspace if the pilot is green?
100% for safety concerns. I'm sure they will get a 1000% tariff placed on them. Sometime in the future that will be reduced if the let us fly there or Trump gets a sandwich from them. Whatever comes first
Fun fact!
Now it will take as much experience to wax eyebrows as an Esthetician as it will to fly a plane and be responsible for hundreds of lives every day.
Glad these decisions are all based on merit.
Definitely not flying any time in the future if I can help it.
If it's Boeing, im not going
Hell, might not matter. Between Boeing and Director no flight time, the planes will find you.
