Good afternoon.

How are you doing today, Kim?

Oh, thank you.

That's correct.

I fly for an airline.

And I was listening to your show and read your article on AI for aircraft.

And I responded to it because I find it very concerning.

I don't think I'd get on one of those.

Well, I started when I was 14 years old.

I sold a glider.

And I got, I came out of high school with my flight instructor certificates.

I was a little motivated.

I enjoyed it way too much.

I've seen way too many computer issues where, and it just takes a little anomaly.

You get, you know, bad electron going through or whatever, power interruption, other things.

And I've had communication errors as well along the way, both with voice and with some of the newer, like our CPDLC, the controller pilot data links, and other more advanced communication systems where we revert back to basically an HF radio.

And then things happen.

It's not perfect.

It's a man-made machine.

Having two cognitively aware pilots up there that can analyze situations as they come along and solve it and make a good execution that gets you on the ground safely, that's more important.
