Topic: Next Gen Aviation

A government report indicates a spike in air traffic control mistakes, but the hosts argue the data is being manipulated to promote the "Next-Gen" aviation system. By highlighting human error, the government and PR firms are building a case for fully automated, pilotless aircraft. They point out that the reporting methodology was changed recently, making current statistics incomparable to previous years.

The hosts analyze recent aviation news, including new reports on the Air France crash, as a coordinated effort to discredit human pilots in favor of automated systems. They argue that the "Next-Gen" air traffic control system is designed to integrate drones into civilian airspace. A representative from the UAV industry is heard discussing the "peaceful coexistence" of manned and unmanned aircraft.
