A recent Jettly survey reveals that trust in commercial pilots has declined, partly due to incidents like the Alaska Airlines event, with Delta, American, and United emerging as the most trusted airlines. Factors reducing trust include visible fatigue, late arrivals, and poor communication.

Private jet emissions have drawn significant scrutiny due to their disproportionate environmental impact, with private jets emitting approximately 15–16 million tonnes of CO2 in 2023, representing about 1.7–1.8% of civil aviation emissions while serving a tiny fraction of passengers.
