Well, how close is close? Maybe the limit is set too high, so that the normal practice is crowding it.

That’s my first thought.

Hitting each other?

Plenty-o-FR posts have no shortage of intersectionality....

We should fly in large billiard balls.

Falling plane parts could always hit your house or wherever you are. No one is totally immune because they don’t fly. I don’t either and planes fly over my house. Could still get screwed over.

SO SCARY. Better stay home and leave the flying to the one percenters.

P.S. Big Sky, Lots of Sky.

> "...there were about 300 accounts of near collisions involving commercial airlines. The number of such near misses in the NASA database..."

So, are they "near misses" or "near collisions"???

Meteorites, volcanoes, earthquakes. You can worry, i make good decisions as much as possible, leave the rest up to God.

We need more diverse air traffic controllers. Diversity is our strength.

As we experience declining demographics and an increasingly dumber pool of people in the population, statistically, it becomes more probable things happen such as planes crashing... ....and nuclear power plant melt downs. Just a matter of time.

Sounds like a plan.

...it becomes more probable things happen such as
planes crashing... ....and nuclear power plant melt downs.

Just a matter of time.

Just a matter of common sense.

Just listen to ATC for a couple of days and you will hear the diversity and inclusion.

Not worried. Just because you don’t fly doesn’t mean you can’t be affected by plane problems.
