First I’ve heard of the show, but as a non-interested party it sure seems weird that someone would do the bare minimum of training to pilot a plane full of people in the name of demonstrating that bare minimum training is not sufficient.

And “they’re dumb” as a closing argument isn’t super persuasive. The guy may or may not have some valid points but he sure comes across as a reckless twit.
