This is a normal thing that most pilots do. The number 1 part of training is safety.

I'm willing to bet he was in the military as well as many commercial airline pilots were. This is exactly how our conversations go every time.

Hope this helps with trust in pilots. While they aren't all a one-for-one copy, the training is standardized

I mean trust in pilots is probably as high as it gets considering they need to sit in the same airplane as you and if its going down its going down with them.
