Feb 7, 2017 at 11:58 comment added curious_cat @Steve-O The other difference seems to be that in the analogy with road vehicles taxi-cab drivers traditionally didn't need a license any different from the usual one. i.e. No CDL needed. i.e. Same license allowed you to ferry 4 passengers for a fare. Things in aircraft licensing were fundamentally different.
Feb 6, 2017 at 21:20 comment added Steve-O ...the FAA believes that the general public can identify a bad driver, but not a bad pilot. Also, if a car breaks down or runs out of gas mid-trip due to the driver's negligence or incompetence, it's unlikely to get anyone killed. (Unlikely, not impossible.) If an airplane breaks down or runs out of gas mid-flight, it's a lot more serious.
