Cockpit chatter cited in six crashes
Oh great....... as if flying these days wasn't bad enough!!!
...this from USA Today.... Airline pilots regularly violate federal law by chit-chatting or joking during critical phases of flight — the kind of distractions that may have played a role in two recent fatal crashes that killed a total of 62 people, according to government records. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has cited violations of the "sterile cockpit rule" in six crashes since 2004, a USA TODAY review found. In addition, the pilots of a commuter plane that crashed Feb. 12 near Buffalo were casually talking minutes before the accident that killed 50 people. More than half — 11 out of 20 — of the cockpit recording transcripts released in serious accidents during the past decade contain evidence of violations, USA TODAY found. Comments that range from mimicking a chicken to expletive-laced jokes were captured on cockpit recordings. Since 1981, federal law has barred such banter while taxiing and flying below 10,000 feet. Pilots need to improve their discipline, according to some safety advocates. Cockpit chatter cited in six crashes - USATODAY.com

if you cannot use a cell phone when driving a car, then you shouldnt be making chicken noises when flying a plane with hundreds of lives at stake, I think its poor a pilot cannot wait 5 minutes til at auto pilot, and over 50% should be enough for it to be policed a bit heavier.
