The risk of loss of a passenger aircraft isn't the same thing as not wearing a seatbelt or being late for a party. Nobody sane would want to be personally responsible for the death of 200 or 300 people in one go. The FAA has a no commercial aviation accident policy and I for one support that policy.

They are making the calculation of lives-lost and delay-hours against dollars. Meanwhile, passengers largely assume they won't die regardless of which airline they pick, and happily take absurd delays and unnecessary connections in exchange for lower ticket prices time and time again.
