A federal advisory committee of pro-corporate aviation "experts" is telling the Trumpf junta there should be only one pilot, not two, in an airplane's cockpit. European airline executives have been pushing their regulators for only one pilot in the cockpit through the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and they are lobbying the corporate-friendly GOP Trumpf regime to agree. Citing safety reasons, the Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA) and 43 senators from both political parties railed against this idiotic cost-saving proposal. US Senators Tim Sheehy (R-MT) and Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) sent a bipartisan letter to Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy, urging the FAA to vigorously oppose single-pilot operations for commercial airline operations: Letter to DOT. Nota Bene: The US is also facing a critical shortage of FAA Air Traffic Controllers impacting the aviation industry.
US aviation safety has demonstrably declined in the past eight months under President Plane Crash' who appointed an airline executive and political donor that lied about his commercial jet pilot experience to lead the FAA. This single pilot proposal puts profits over people and obviously endangers passengers and flight crews.
