The Atlantic: Pilots on the Germanwings Murder/Suicide.

And when people start looking for whom to blame, the answer is simple: Joe-six-pack who wanted a $99 flight from New York to L.A, or Pierre Baguette who wanted a 65 Euro Paris-Casablanca…and the cynical bean counters who make this possible” Pilots used to be paid well, have peerless training and plenty of *useful* hours in type.

No truer words.

The co-pilot on your next commuter may have already worked 8 hours on an engineering job, or be heading to work after the flight trying to build hours.

Paid for his or her own education.

Then worked for peanuts to prove he is ready for the majors where he will finally earn a living.
