Push for lone pilots on flights is ‘irresponsible’: Former Qantas PilotFormer Qantas Pilot Richard Richard De Crespigny says the push for lone pilots on airlines is “irresponsible' as it 'reduces safety' on flights. “Humans will always make errors, so you need extra pilots on board,' Mr De Crespigny told Sky News Host Peta Credlin. 'You can share jobs, delegate duties, they’ll monitor you and pick up if you make a mistake, they’ll contribute ideas or actually tell you if you’re doing something wrong and in the worse case if you get incapacitated they’ll actually take over. “You can’t even consider having one pilot or no pilots in the cockpit of commercial aircraft, it’s not fair to the passengers, it’s irresponsible. “The people pushing single pilot aircraft, don’t realise how silly that idea is, because they don’t understand safety in today’s cockpits.”

It would take ‘real courage’ for Andrews to intervene in Cheng Lei’s case in ChinaChina has refused to meet with our government ministers for three years now, but has 'made an exception' for mining billionaire Andrew Forrest and Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews, says Sky News host Sharri Markson. Ms Markson said Mr Forrest has insisted China is not a national security threat and accused politicians and foreign policy analysts of “just trying to scare people”. “So here's a businessman in Andrew Forrest who has made his money exporting iron ore to China, insisting the nation is not a national security threat – it's absurd, it's wrong,” Ms Markson said. Ms Markson also said Premier Daniel Andrews has revealed that while in China he won’t be raising the case of journalist Cheng Lei who has been imprisoned for 2.5 years, despite her partner writing a letter to the Premier’s office begging him to intervene. “It would take real courage to strongly raise her case in China. Actual courage. But according to Daniel Andrews, no, this is much too sensitive,” she said.
