A jury has a very important decision to make, which could send someone innocent to prison for life. Selection of those people calls for serious gatekeeping. It's not a community college finger painting night class.

Say, would it be aristocratic/elitist to refuse to fly in an airliner staffed by people pulled off the street for pilot duty?

It's quite the opposite. You should have to convince all of them, and so the jury should include everyone. The aristocrats and the finger painters.

What if the staff are overseen by a pilot and in order to crash the plane you need to convince all 12 randos and the pilot to crash the plane?

Would've prevented 9/11.

I’m confused here.

Are you asking if I would get in a plane piloted by someone with zero experience or training?
