"Pilot had to dive aggressively to avoid midair collision over Burbank airport."

It's working for Russia
Uh, what? Something like 80 % of their economy is now government spending.

This is very dangerous. Time to remove regulations for collision warning systems on airplanes, so dangerous maneuvers like this don’t happen in the future

:::Yeah, just let the pilots fly Tony Hawk freestyle. Time to get creative!

Don't planes have seatbelts? How did so many people manage to fly out of their seats?
Also friendly reminder to everybody that planes are still the safest mode of transportation by a significant margin
They have seatbelts, but for the most of the flight they are unused - you only need to buckle in during takeoff, landing, and if when encountering turbulence.
I guess there wasn't enough time to get all the passengers to fasten their seatbelts before the collision?

Where I fly they also always advise to remain fastener regardless of no immediate warnigs. Exactly for situations like this - and others.

It sure feels like that margin has been shrinking in the last year or so.

Remind us who cut funding to FAA?
it was the one armed man! you gotta believe me!

Yeah, but people are still going to be using the bathrooms and such, even if you assume everyone actually obeys the rules

Exactly. I don't say those things at work anymore because they are too many of them.
I can't help wondering if they are remorseful.
One thing I know is people don't like to be told. I stop correcting them. The more we point out their flaws, the more irrationally they will hold on to the false beliefs

Legit I'm like "bruh, you're upset that your billionaire 'grab em by the pussy', 'accidentally' walking into the miss teen usa changing room, 'I'd fuck my daughter if she wasn't my daughter' president is on a list of billionaire sexual predators? I'm glad that something finally looks like it might stick to him but c'mon guys.

Planes are the safest form of transportation if you look at safety per km travelled. If you look at other metrics, like safety per trip or per travel time then they are less safe than busses or trains.

And that's why you always wear the seatbelt
That’s right. That’s why I always wear mine. Even if I have to get up to go to the bathroom or grab something- I still wear it. Sometimes the flight attendants get mad when I cut it off, but I remind them it’s for safety and they usually get it.

Which time? In January or in Trump's last term?

Once the flight smoothed out, Ulasewicz, who was traveling to Las Vegas, said the pilot made an announcement indicating the plane used software to avoid a midair collision.
Apparently it was right before catering service and well into AP flight. As a europoor I only master Airbus so I don’t know how a 737 is supposed to respond to a TA/RA.
Let’s wait for better sources than twitter and nbc.

Of course, but it should be the 2-4 people who are actively going somewhere / in the bathroom, everyone else should have their seatbelt on.

The 737 won’t fly an RA on autopilot. We have to disconnect the autopilot and auto throttle and hand fly it. There’ll be a red box on the PFD that we just keep the pitch outside of, and we’ll be fine.

You're right, but I don't think The Internet cares.

Finally, the freedom to have sick plane crashes thanks to deregulation
Just to put this into perspective, here's a visualization of the flight data. The two aircraft were never on a collision course. They slightly violated a 5-mile separation requirement: their closest point of approach was 4.85 miles. The pilot did need to respond to the TCAS alert, but that alert was very conservative.
