[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Flying is an inherently dangerous activity that has been made safe by careful regulation. In places like Nigeria it has remained dangerous. It may be in the process of becoming more dangerous here, but it is too early to be sure.[/quote]

All the airline personnel who work for the federal government, such as safety inspectors, are pre-occupied with losing their jobs with this sword of damacles over their necks in perpetuity.  Any probational roles have been eliminated, which means there is more work and less personnel.

The ATC were all fired under reagan, so its not impossible to imagine they especially feel vulnerable and that could have contributed to the DCA crash by creating a heightened stress and more fatigue for all ATC personnel involved.

Driving is also dangerous, but I am curious how to assess how the risk of flying is evolving.[/quote]

I think an issue is the FAA shut down the standard college to controller pipeline a little more than a decade ago.

Back when I went to college (graduated 2002), there was an establish CTI program that was basically college to the FAA.

I don’t blame DEI like Trump did, but a staffing shortage was created due to social tinkering. College was deemed exclusionary and we are dealing with the staffing consequences today.
