If there is a drawback to the Internet, it is the overwhelming amount of information being created and disseminated. Anyone interested in anything can find more articles, blogs, e-newsletters, YouTube videos, Facebook posts, Twitter tweets, Instagram photos, Pinterest pins etc. about any subject, more than one person could possibly consume in a lifetime.
For those who work on aviation safety issues, this presents a problem. The easy solution in safety circles is to offer more information to those who might cause an accident. The hope, presumably, is that education and information dissemination will prevent accidents. Add more training to the mix and we should be able to lower the number of accidents dramatically. This does, incidentally, work for the airlines, which generally are a closed system that is somewhat easier to manage than individual pilots flying on their own.
