Near Midair Collisions: For Airline Passengers, Ignorance Is Bliss
The facts behind our assumed level of safety are less than comforting. (www.flyingmag.com) Ещё...Interesting. The article has been removed from Flying Magazine's website. I'd prefer that they actually offer a written retraction instead of just deleting the article.
It is saying Access Denied... It could mean that they have pulled it, but it also could mean that they are having issues with their web server as well.
That's right. Forget flight plans, STARs and SIDs. We'll get there by "dumb luck". Sheesh, what a dumb article.
I see from your registration you do not show any flying credentials. Then obviously you do not know what you are talking about.
So, as a licensed pilot, are you agreeing with the article that you haven't had a mid-air collision yet because of dumb luck? I would tend to agree with Michael, and add to it that it is also due to the training that all pilots should receive to look and listen for other traffic.
I'm surprised that Flying mag would publish such an article. I guess their sales are based on "dumb luck" too.

Ok, fair enough, go ahead and attack my credentials. If indeed, that's all you have to add to this discussion.
However, my comment was to make mention that, while I do not sit in the pointy end, I do recognize the value of proper procedures and regulations in place for safe aviation.
Unless, you're a crop-duster Gene, there are tight tolerances that must be followed in the skies. That doesn't mean that aviation could be all-automated (pilotless) with robots. There will always be the need for pilots. But to insinuate that the success of aviation can be attributed to "dumb luck" is foolish.

What a crock of crap this is. Clickbait sensationalism at its worst.
