    Air travel is considered to be among the safest methods of travel.

    …but thats only because historically we only let experts operate those vehicles. You thought it was bad to drink and drive? Wait until uncle Randy has 250 hours logged to get a liscense, and he drinks and flies!

      And also a huge QC culture. If we let the auto industry make aircrafts for the general public, we’ll soon wish we were flying Boeing

      You can become a private pilot with an airplane or helicopter rating in 40 hours. 250 is for commercial pilots.

      And this shit does happen.
