Rapid and safe don’t go together
That’s not true. I can think of a quick change that will greatly improve air safety: ground every single plane, effective immediately.
Would it affect my upcoming vacation? Yes. But would it work? Yes.
Getting a bus pass doesn’t make you a better driver.
I mean, yes, but I don’t see the relevancy
You dont make flying planes safer by not flying them the same way you dont become a safer driver because you dont drive.
Makes sense but unlike with driving, you can literally shutdown controlled airspace. So imagine if cars all had identifiers that could be tracked remotely (like ADS-B) and you could shutdown all driving in a given city - including busses. That would drop the accidents down to 0.
While a really stupid idea that would piss everyone off, it would allow the government time to get their shit together and preventing people from dying on airports and in the air.
Have you considered working for the government?
No. I am very good at being sarcastic for pedantic reasons. Now, coming up with a suitable solution is hard
The solution is easy. Before the recent crash and all the Boeing stuff, what was the last major civilian aviation mishap? Simply crack the fuck down on manufacturers (Boeing mainly), and set minimum separation requirements in stone. The DC crash was a direct result of lawmakers increasing DC traffic because they were upset they had to wait to fly. Aircraft should never be within 500 feet of each other in any dimension, 1k if you can afford it.
Itd also prevent people from leaving the country and being trapped.
Funny enough, you know what the most urgent state code is in the aviation manufacturing? AOC it stands for Aircraft On Ground. Meaning that it’s not making money, and that gets a faster turn around than even Service Difficulty Reports when a potential flaw is discovered.
Theres an old saying you cant have everything Rapid safe and cheap.
You just need to pick 2.
Good thing they saved us a bunch of money by shutting everything down then. They can spend the pentagons sushi budget on quickly training some safe operators.
They’re not touching the Pentagon, my dude.
Shooting Elon is rapid
Just like we’ll have “full self driving this year” for 10 years running?
Elon Musk is a fucking moron who happened to stumble upon brilliant engineers who actually do meaningful work. Unfortunately for him he’s fired or burned through nearly all of them which is why Twitter is bleeding cash and Tesla hasn’t released anything interesting in 5 years.
Tesla hasn’t released anything interesting in 5 years
Hey they regularly update the ability to make your vehicle into an expensive whoopie cushion. If that isn’t interesting I don’t know what is.
If the military doesnt do something, because Congress won’t, we’re absolutely cooked. I have family who work on planes. Fuck all of this.
You live in a country that had psychiatry more barbaric than that of USSR till 70s.
EDIT: too niche an example ; no they won’t.
Yeah bruh, I am not flying until the next admin cleans up all this horseshit. If we have a next admin.
Planes go over my house all day. We’re all fucked, even if we don’t fly. Maybe one will fall on him and we can have a good laugh 😅
Every single action that he does even if it only takes a day to undo took decades to get implemented. Will probably take just as long to get it back.
He’s the guy who fucked it up. He and his goons are morons, and should be nowhere near any of this
Maybe so, but the are on it. So…
Sooo… I’m not going to be flying for at least the next four years.
I’m flying to Vegas this weekend! Let’s see how it goes!
GF actually already has a slight fear of flying, so this should be an adventure trying to calm her down. lol
Hey babe here’s a whole bar of Xanax
Right?! Actually I think she prefers moaning, asking me to hold her hand, and apologize for everything she’s done in life. Before. Every. Flight. lmao
You may still die from falling debris of some air safety armed drone. Rapid safety upgrades are like that, accidents happen
Like to Tesla FSD systems, right? Slap a couple patches on there? Cut off a split second before it hits parked ambulances on the interstate so it’s technically not responsible?
You know, rapid and safe, like Tesla full self driving.
Ah, yes, adaptive cruise control and lane keeping with some AI hallucinations dropped in, surely that’ll be safe.
DOGE? His crack team of 18-26 year old muppets? Wonderful.
There’s a 26y old? Oldest i saw reported was like 23
Same age group as Lemmy, so…
Yeah, sucks.
All I know is that I have a flight for work in a couple weeks and if shit keeps going this way I’m fucking driving, even if I have to leave a day early.
Yeah, I have to fly home cross country tomorrow. Wheeee.
I’m flying to Vegas tomorrow night. lol
Is it Grok-powered ATCs?
Pilot: “hey ground control”
ATC: *Google Assistant ding*
So is DOGE the SS or another group? Just trying to figure out which actors are playing which characters.
Is the doge dog the new swastika?
Calling DOGE the SS really downplays the seriousness and horror of the real SS. Go look up some history, friend.
“rapid” “safety” <-- choose one
Active GPS. Please, no BS Elon satellite phone bullshit.
