So if you go to a concert or a play do you not clap? The pilots did something most people can't. They're not clapping at the plane they're applauding the pilots.
Which is also a job and expected of them? And flying a plane is definitely way harder than putting on a show, for potentially quite a bit less pay depending on the performance.
Regardless, no one is saying you have to clap. So why do you care what other people do? You not only think it's wrong for you to thank someone for doing their job, but you think it's wrong for other people to do so? Why?
Why, I'm glad not to die in an accident even when I trust the ones in control from the very beginning.
I only referred to the "we don't trust" part. I usually don't clap first but will gladly join others to share the joy of the moment, be it in the bus or at the dentist's office
