This was great!

> 1. Don’t kill yourself

> 2. Don’t kill anyone else

Could we reorder these, though? Every once in a while a plane will hit a house and kill its occupants (and the pilot, usually) and it's so awful. I think not killing others as a pilot is so much more important than not killing yourself.

That ordering reminds me of the first rule of search and rescue: don't create another victim.

If your job is to save a life and that life depends on you, you don't do anyone any favors if you die

Well, if you kill yourself the plane may then go on killing others. This is double plus ungood.

I think the idea is that if the pilot dies then most likely passengers or others will die too. Someone needs to control the plane.
