Rogue Pilots Are a Growing Airline Safety Threat

A Wall Street Journal report says pilots who intentionally endanger flights — through sabotage, suicide, or serious rule-breaking — have become one of the biggest threats to airline safety, yet regulators and airlines lack effective methods to detect or stop them. Readers are debating how the industry balances mental-health support for pilots with screening measures, and why existing oversight has failed to catch warning signs.
