How the fuck can we feel safe to travel long distances if the pilots aren't trustworthy now? I mean, fuck, it's been a bad run for airliners for the past months.

I fly pretty regularly. These things don't worry me at all.

It shouldn't worry people, but pilots being bale to crash a plane like this for some stupid reason? Do we need to give pilots mandatory psych tests?

Pretty sure that's already a thing.

I have friends that are pilots. Can confirm.

It's a thing for US pilots. I don't know the status of it for other countries though.

Same in EU, I believe.

For commercial pilots, it is.
