alt Hacker NewsFuck aviation, stop using it as a dead horse metaphor for safety through human protocols. I am private instrument rating holder and there's very much a top down push for single pilot ops. Your newer jets (even the jetliners) are all designed with that in mind even though they may not be certified as such.

Try again. Commercial aviation, with people on board going between point A and point B.
That 2nd pilot makes up for lot's of impossible branches in the fault tree.
This is kind of an interesting thought (underneath the grumpiness, which I guess is where the downvotes came from). Programmers seem to hold aviation processes in very high regard, but their industry is also under cost pressures. The “UX” of riding in a plane does kind of suck, I wonder if some of that comes from the costs involved.
Not too surprised to see pressure to reduce the number of pilots.
Okay, just because aviation is now also developing in the wrong direction (maybe), all the things they did right in the past are suddenly pointless? I suggest to learn from the things they did right, not the things they did wrong.
