Bull****. Give me one example of where a pilot has done jail time for something involving simple negligence.
Say for example, you dial in an inappropriate amount of flap on a landing, and the hard landing injures a passenger, should you be incarcerated?
Hit and Run, you deserve to go to jail. But it is way over the top to want to start incarcerating people for simple negligence.
