I believe in the event of in flight emergencies, any system failures or incapacitation, this model has contributed to one of the safest aviation systems in the world. Currently, the EU Aviation Safety Agency is considering a proposal that would allow a single pilot to remain on the flight deck during cruise while the second pilot rests. An initiative they're even taking up before a comprehensive safety study has been completed. This approach stands in stark contrast to US regulations which mandate a minimum of two pilots for the scheduled air carrier operations. (01:10–01:21)
