The truth about pilots (Opinion) - CNN.com

And CNN, for publishing it.


The media's race to the bottom just broke mach.
Maybe I'm next in line for TOTD, but I read and re-read that article and my opinion is the complete polar opposite of yours. I think Peter Garrison is just saying that despite the common perceptions, we pilots are no less fallible than anyone else. Also that it's not some heroic sense of duty or responsibility (during 99.999% of the mundane day-to-day flying) that drives us pilots to keep the passengers and aircraft safe.
Everyone is entitled to their own opinions though.
