Air control tried contacting them numerous times and scrambled fighter jets thinking it was a hijacking. When the pilot woke up, he lied and said it was a radio malfunction. But investigation found that was not the case. He was then fired >_> --- http://i.imgur.com/nlaY1qH.jpg http://i.imgur.com/zHJ1OCo.gif http://i.imgur.com/btBPP4E.jpg http://i.imgur.com/1B3bMHw.gif https://i.imgur.com/2aof3ao.jpg <cite>NeonOctopus posted [p:965439329] in Both pilot...

Tyranthraxus 06/01/22 12:38:05 PM #17:	[LFAQs-redacted-quote] Planes are already like 99% autonomous. Pilots mostly just tap a few switches based on whether they're taking off, landing, or to adjust for weather. And of course the most important job being awake to communicate with air traffic control. --- It says right here in Matthew 16:4 "Jesus doth not need a giant Mecha." https://i.imgur.com/dQgC4kv.jpg <cite>Tyranthraxus posted [p:965455907] in Both pilot...

The autopilot does too much of the work according to them. I went to rehab with a bunch of them, mostly delta... the fucking stories they would tell. The problem was so bad delta had a contract/agreement with the rehab center, fucking lol. --- ........the ghost in the machine...
