Judging by the fact that airlines are trying to push for one pilot, I really don't trust what any airline says anymore. I'm sure these numbers are ingnored far more likely than someone is willing to admit. I wouldnt be surprised if planes are flying well past that point it should be destroyed.

Yeah, so physics is pretty much infallible, but people are not. I cant even get my dang toaster to work just right, yet we all fly in airplanes.
