Major airlines have two pilots and expensive avionics. But “commercial aircraft” refers to all aircraft with paying passengers, including propeller planes with a single pilot that take a few passengers sightseeing.
And all pilots are guided by air traffic control, from major airliners to solo private pilots. Air traffic control is meant to prevent mid-air collisions, an air traffic control system that ignored small aircraft would be pointless.

And with that many more tiny little craft flying around, the risk increases. How do you not understand that?

The risk increases with any aircraft, the size is irrelevant. You might as well complain whenever Boeing sells a new airplane.
Fortunately, the ATC regulates the number of aircraft - of any size - that can safely fly in a particular section of airspace.

So you admit, I’m right, but you’re still arguing against me and then how a false equivalence in to top it off. How the fuck does that make any sense? Lmao

I’m arguing that building these planes is no worse than building any other plane.
And there is nothing to suggest that air travel is currently unsafe due to congestion, if anything air travel is decreased from previous years.
