This is so interesting - thanks for the info! Somehow getting more information makes me more at ease. I travel pretty regularly between Europe and South America - has there been a noticeable increase in turbulence or unexpected weather patterns lately? Just curious if climate change is mussing up our pilots as well.

Thanks, this made me feel better. I understand the science of aircraft, and the intensive training required of pilots - as well as the sophisticated engineering that props it all up. But I still get scared on bumpy planes - flew to Brazil from Spain last year and the whole flight felt like I was a sock in a tumble dryer.
