  1. Swiss trims its summer schedule as a pilot crisis spreads across Europe.

    Switzerland’s national carrier has confirmed it will cancel around 1,400 flights from now through October as it confronts an ongoing shortage of pilots.

    Swiss isn’t the only European airline cutting summer flights.

  2. I keep telling people that pilots are not going the way of elevator operators anytime soon.

    “The Black Box Problem” is ultimately why I believe autonomous flight systems based on “narrow” deep learning AI systems are doomed to fail.

    But John Oliver unpacks the issues in a far more entertaining way here than I ever could. Enjoy.

  3. Welp.

    Not so worried about this #AI taking our jobs anytime soon. 🤣 #pilotshortage

  4. We spoke to 3 female flight attendants across 3 crew changes in a row on this last trip, who are considering starting flight school.🤯

    I think that’s pretty great. I answered questions and gave them my contact info in case they ever want someone to talk to about the journey.

  5. obviously we can't pay pilots more so they don't leave to fly private jets instead.

    and building high speed rail with better organized stations to reduce the number of passengers airlines deal with is obviously out of the question.

    no, the most important thing here is obviously executive bonuses and shareholder payouts.

    and the only way to protect those is to make flying incredibly unsafe and potentially killing a lot of people.
