I always wondered why the public puts up with it. Aviation is always provided as a contrast to the medical community: pilots have legally-mandated sleep requirements.

My hunch is that when a plane crashes, everyone freaks because planes aren't supposed to crash. When someone dies at a hospital nobody notices because people die at hospitals all the time.

If the plane crashes, the pilot has a good chance of dying too, if the doctor makes a mistake, not so much.

Air traffic controller then. I hope they have regulated hours in the USA...
