429: Gross, Surprising & Scary
Airmen Bill of Rights, Pilot Certification Changes
The Airmen Bill of Rights (HR 1335) is criticized for introducing new burdens on licensed pilots, including stricter medical and psychological testing. The hosts argue that the FAA's plan to revamp the NOTAM (Notice to Airmen) system is an unnecessary multi-million dollar project. They suggest these changes are designed to eventually phase out human pilots in favor of autonomous systems.
