2. Pilots Aren’t Allowed to Eat Together
There are several airlines that don’t allow pilots who are flying together to eat their meals at the same time. In fact, the pilots have to eat at least an hour after or before one another, or they have to eat at two different restaurants. This is to ensure that if one pilot gets sick or is poisoned, there will still be a pilot to operate the aircraft. This is often seen as a safety precaution, but there’s no doubt that it can give passengers pause as well. Why would anyone want to poison the pilot? Do people have a negative view of pilots for some reason? Do people generally want to poison pilots and sabotage flights? And if so, why? Airlines don’t want you asking these questions, so they don’t really share the pilot eating rule with passengers.
