Question of the Week

Amid news of many high-profile near-accidents, we're forced to consider that aviation is becoming a more dangerous activity — or maybe we're only seeing part of the picture in these news reports. What do you think?

Is overall aviation safety headed for a decline?

NATCA and the NTSB are right. There are too few eyes watching too many airplanes crammed into inadequate airports. Catastrophe is inevitable.

We've probably stretched the system as far as we should, and it's time we invested some money and political capital in making sure it stays safe.

Technology may not be evolving as fast as we'd like, but the new systems in the works will see us through.

Flying is safer now than it's ever been, and the naysayers should stop trying to make political points this way.
