For those saying how obvious it is for us to mandate two pilots:

Should buses have two drivers? A large bus carries about as many people as a small plane. And per distance, road travel is > 100 times more dangerous than air travel.

The failure modes are vastly different and the ability for a passenger to pilot a bus to the side of the road in an emergency is much more probable than the aircraft. This is not a reasonable comparison at all.

Can anyone stop a bus? Does it stop automatically if the driver has a heart attack? Will all the passengers die?

Can anyone land a plane? Does it land automatically if the pilot has a heart attack? Will all the passengers die?

The outcomes are quite different.

Hmm a tangent thought. Does a bus with an automatic transmission and cruise control on stop on its own if the driver passes out?

That is an argument for two drivers in busses, not one pilot in planes.

Or a dead man’s switch like they have in trains? I didnt post it as an argument.

Who knows? But will doing nothing result in a disaster 100% of the time? Will the passengers be able to resolve the situation?
