[quote=Anonymous]Of course, commercial planes are much safer than private planes. My husband is a private pilot. It doesn't take THAT much training to get a private pilot's license. Maybe 50-70 hours? Just for comparison, Captain Sullenberger, the pilot who landed in the Hudson, had around 20,000 hours of flight experience. Commercial pilots, in general, just have so much more experience and crashes, more often than not, are due to pilot error. Private planes also often don't have extra safety features in place such as extra engines, co-pilots or back-up systems for navigation. [/quote]
