A surge in recent near misses and a global pilot shortage is putting aviation safety at risk. We need a new approach to pilot training. My take:

Too Many Near Misses — The Urgent Need to Modernize Pilot Training

Airliners today are the safest mode of transportation on Earth. It’s safer to fly on a commercial airliner than to walk down the street.

We should also make NTSB learnings part of standardized training. EVERY pilot should practice flying and recovering from the Colgan Air scenario—and every other major accident and incident of the past 20 years. Shockingly, this vital training doesn’t happen today at all.
