E112: Commercial Flying from the Pilot's point of view

Host: Don Helin Guest: Dave Jacoby, 50 years in the airline industry Description: In the press, we read about periodic incidents occurring in the airline industry leading some to express concerns about the safety of flying. Calling upon his long-time knowledge and experience as a commercial pilot and technical expert, Dave reassured us that with the extensive training of pilots and mechanics, and the care and checks the industry places when constructing and maintaining the planes, he believes it is more dangerous to drive to the airport than to fly.
