I was on a New York flight the next day, and when we landed, something weirdly became: the passengers were flooded with locks. It has happened after a flight with a really bad instability or big delay. But this was a perfectly boring flight that landed and landed on time without any play. So why lock?
Well, you know why: There have been a lot of aircraft crashes, or crashed nearby – and all of them are against the background of the employees of the Trump administration and the Alon Musk firing Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and talk about upgrading everything from Starlink, or today.
Only this week, it is exactly detailed in news reports Watad In the agency to force SpaceX into a conversation – including a Seize Existing Varison Agreement and FAA employees also threaten to end if they are not fully onboard.
So it seems less safe to fly – the reason that people are clapping while landing are not just a tragic accident. It is that the system that we talk about to keep us safe and solve problems is becoming unstable in front of our eyes, and actually improves the system takes more than posts and braved or interests, so it causes a constitutional crisis. It’s really a complex dance of people, technology and policy – you know, Decoder Material.
So today I’m talking to Andy Hawkins, EdgeTransfer editor about what’s going on in the sky. He has just edited a large part of us by author Daryal Campbell that helps put what has just happened on air travel. There are some very comfortable data about how safe it is to fly, but there are some big questions about what we need to do next to regain our trust in air travel.
He and I talked about how safe it is really to fly – extremely safe – and how current air traffic systems can change for better and worse. And, of course, we talked about musk.
