This chapter explores the pressure and challenges faced by pilots, including the pilot shortage, the rise of AI in aviation, and the question of whether pilots should be automated. It highlights the importance of a pilot's human ingenuity and their ability to fix problems when unexpected situations occur, using the example of the miracle on the Hudson.
What does a pilot sound like? Malcolm and Ben Naddaff-Hafrey take off on a long, strange investigation that takes them from Las Vegas to Family Guy to the airspace over the Mojave desert and the cold waters of the Hudson river.
