A model from the petroleum dispensing institute at OIT in Klamath Falls predicts that if people were allowed to pump their own gas, there would be 700 explosions PER WEEK in the state. It's not just about you and your convenience!

That model seems questionable:
Abstract
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, there were 117,000 gasoline stations in the United States in 2007. During 2004-2008, an estimated average of 5,020 fires were reported in and around these properties per year, causing an annual average of two civilian deaths, 48 civilian fire injuries, and $20 million in direct property damage. These fires include vehicle, structure, outside, and other fires. Most of the fires (61%) were vehicle fires, but the bulk of the property loss (59%) was a result of structure fires. These estimates are based on data from the U.S. Fire Administration’s (USFA) National Fire Incident Reporting System (NFIRS) and the National Fire Protection Association’s (NFPA) annual fire department experience survey.
Keywords: fire statistics, service station fires, gas station fires, non-residential fires
Acknowledgements
The National Fire Protection Association thanks all the fire departments and state fire authorities who participate in the National Fire Incident Reporting System (NFIRS) and the annual NFPA fire experience survey. These firefighters are the original sources of the detailed data that make this analysis possible. Their contributions allow us to estimate the size of the fire problem.
We are also grateful to the U.S. Fire Administration for its work in developing, coordinating, and maintaining NFIRS.

I mean if it saves just 1 life it’s worth it so, TWO! That’s almost twice as much!

Just because you're a pilot doesn't mean that you know more than the guy who's been pumping gas for his entire career, or the STATE FIRE MARSHAL for crying out loud. Let the experts do their job!

In the same vein I agree with the senator above. We're supposed to be concerned about pilot jobs here. The correct position to take is maximum social distancing. I would say no more than 25% load factors just to be safe. Petition the government to have the taxpayers pay for the empty seats and get the entire fleets flying again.
Compared to the amount of money thrown around since this fiasco started the cost would just be a drop in the bucket.

49.5 states and basically all other countries say it’s ok to pump your own gas and there’s a tiny hold out with their arms crossed, pouting, refusing to play along
It points to the unreasonableness of the holdouts, not the tyranny of experts
