it does seem like there's been an uptick in "incidents" involving boeing planes, in particular, and maybe that's because of the fallout of the merger between boeing and md (https://qz.com/1776080/how-the-mcdonnell-douglas-boeing-merger-led-to-the-737-max-crisis/ https://qz.com/1776080/how-the-mcdonnell-douglas-boeing-merg...), and even then i'm not sure if that's _statistically_ accurate. this does not, however, invalidate the CP premise that it's generally safe to fly, even on the Max series and that is largely because this part of the process is working (grounding, checking, remediating) even if the development and manufacturing processes have failed.
however, i'll also agree with you that being subject to the effects of iterative improvement is uncomfortable in the air transport context.
