After seeing images of passenger fleets grounded in storage outside during covid, Im personally reluctant to fly until air travel gets back to pre pandemic levels and all the maintenance kinks thoroughly addressed.
- dehrmann 6y agoI halfway agree, but storing planes in the desert for a while is a pretty standard thing, so we know how to do this, and it's not like we're bringing the entire fleet back over a month; it'll be more gradual.
- pierrefermat1 6y agoThis is plain stupid, do the maths and you'll realise the cab ride over to the airport gives you a higher chance of death than flights themselves. You can't just worry endless about low probability events
- notwhereyouare 6y agoDuring normal travel, I would agree. But planes are meant to be flown, not sit grounded like a large number did for 6+ months
- crubier 6y agoNot really. If my memory serves me right, Planes are much safer than cars in terms of fatalities per km, safer than car per hour, and on par with cars in terms of fatal accident per flight. Planes flights are faster and longer than car trips.
