A380 or de Havilland Comet
"Jeff Findley" wrote in message
... I'll take a B-737 maintained to US or European safety standards over an Airbus maintained to third world standards any day. Jeff Agreed. However, I have to remind myself, that humans in general are lousy at risk assessment. I know 1 or 2 people now that have said they'd avoid the DC Metro because of the recent crash. Despite the fact that driving is far more dangerous. Same thing with flying. Even the recent Southwest flap over missing FAA inspections didn't worry me overly, given both Southwest's and the 737s history. (yes, it bothered me, but as there weren't a rash of SWA 737s crashing, I wasn't too worked up over it.) -- Greg Moore Ask me about lily, an RPI based CMC. |
