He flew a plane? Without a pilots licence? And that saved lives?
he became a pilot for the show
I misinterpreted "not a professional pilot," thanks. Also, I still don't understand and will probably never watch the show, sooo I guess that's that
It was to bring awareness to lack of inter-cabin communication leading to plane crashes, at least that's what the episodes of that season i watched were about, I didn't see this episode specifically
It's still going my partner is super invested because he's a huge fan of his work. Meanwhile I'm looking at this like it has huge implications for all high reliability industries including stuff like ORs, ERs, nuclear power. I have difficulty watching because I struggle with cringe humor but I'm loving the overall topic.
I should also point out that public safety / high reliability industry workers just gotta be cringe sometimes. A plot point in one episode is that the miracle on the mojave pilot was a huge fan of evanescence and one of the most played songs on his ipod was "wake me up inside" and like. yeah I knew an ER nurse who loooved shinedown. you don't get into those industries unless you're an overdramatic bitch. (I also love shinedown).
Gotcha, makes sense
he did some training, and got a waiver to fly very briefly away from air traffic.
Probably listening to Evenescence
Literally just watched this episode of The Rehearsal lol
