FAA’s Surprising New Advice to Pilots: Trust Instincts Amid Staffing Crisis
Ever wondered what happens when the professionals we trust most decide to take a little “me time” and just… don’t show up? There’s something panic-inducing yet oddly inspiring about entrusting the skies to a wing, a prayer, and whatever gut feeling your average 737 pilot has after their third gas station coffee—especially with an air traffic control team essentially out to lunch . Imagine the FAA, mid-crisis, cheerily telling pilots to “just trust your instincts”—as if the cockpit is Vegas and they’re doubling down at the blackjack table . Reminds me of every SEO “expert” who’s ever told me to follow my heart right into a Google penalty . Is “winging it” the new standard for airline safety? Or is this just a brave new world where hope floats higher than our planes? Either way, grab a seatbelt and cue the laugh track, because this is one government directive you’ve got to read to believe . LEARN MORE
WASHINGTON—As fewer air traffic controllers show up for work amid a government shutdown that has halted their pay, the Federal Aviation Administration issued a recommendation Friday advising commercial pilots to “just go with their gut.” “You’ve done this plenty of times by now, so, you know, go ahead and feel free to trust your instincts when landing without visibility,” said FAA administrator Bryan Bedford, assuring concerned pilots that there were no wrong answers when it came to flying an airplane and that the worst thing they could do was overthink it. “Look, you’ve probably got a good feel for which runways are open by now, and if you see another plane headed your way, just do what feels natural—go up, turn sideways. You’d know better than us. Planes have computers now, so you can probably let the computers do a lot of stuff for you. Just close your eyes and hope for the best.” The FAA assured pilots not to worry, suggesting that the “sky is pretty huge” and that they would probably be okay.
