I disagree. The machine and its operators that stand between me and a 30000-foot fall better be fucking perfect.

Eh, nothing manmade is ever going to be perfect. You're literally 100 times more likely to die in the Uber ride to the airport than on that plane (1.8 deaths per 100 million passenger miles vs 0.01). That kind of shit I don't worry about.

That being said, if some sort of gross negligence is threatening to change those statistics, it's definitely worth looking into.

Airplanes are the safest means of transportation on Earth.

Even more so when its not a Boeing.
