The TLDR might be "Wah, they want us to be as safe as airliners!"Well, you're talking about an industry potentially carrying as many people as airlines, or more, when fully developed, and doing so in many more air vehicles, while spending more time in close proximity to urban areas, and with a lower chance to glide or autorate clear of trouble due to a likely lower operating altitude. So from the other perspective they're lucky they only want them to be as safe as airliners.And thinking about this, it's just occurred to me to wonder whether anyone has modelled the likely shortfall in licensed aircraft mechanics if we see the sort of growth mooted for eVTOL/urban air vehicles.
