Thats kind of insincere given how much safer flying is compared to driving a car. Modern flight is not dangerous, its just more spectacular when failures happen

- bmitc 11mo agoFlying is only safer than driving a car when extremely regular and frequent maintenance is performed and performed correctly. The safety of flying goes down very fast when the maintenance effectiveness goes down. That is not true for cars.
- loeg 11mo agoProbably also worth pointing out that flying is only safer for Part 121 operators (airlines) -- private jets, sightseeing helicopters, skydiving operators, and general aviation are all more dangerous.
- hshdhdhehd 11mo agoIs cargo in part 121?
- loeg 11mo agoUPS is, yeah.
- rkomorn 11mo agoÀ lot of the reason why flying is so safe now is because of the culture of investigating every incident to make sure they won't happen again. And, unfortunately, it's not that rare that the investigations to turn up things that were the result of corners being cut. I'm guessing that's what the "FAFO" comment points to.
- watwut 11mo agoAnd that has a lot to do with the said regulations. It is not safer because of magic or because flying in air was inherently safer then driving on ground.
