Yeah, Japan has ruined me for public transit in the US and elsewhere. Clapping on a plane would just make me annoyed unless the pilot did something phenomenal in a bad situation or the like.
It makes sense in a time without autopilot and the pilots actually had to fly the while time and sometimes really wrestle with the controls. Now it’s all automated so it’s not nearly as impressive.

I like it, it’s a nice way to relieve the stress of everybody being within a couple of seconds of death if the pilot fucked up.
You know what else is a nice way to relieve stress? Low noise environments.
Latin America and “low noise”…
