I wondered about that reading some of the comments about the 737 Max. We routinely travel in exponentially more risky ways all the time, yet we expend time thinking about the safety benefit of avoiding a specific type of aircraft.
Not downplaying airline safety as a whole there, but thinking about it for yourself on a personal level is maybe not moving the needle.
- physicles 3y agoAgreed. It must’ve been terrible for the people on that plane, but I don’t think it’s worth my time to worry about what plane I’m flying on, or what the maintenance record of the airline is. For developed countries, they’re super good enough.
