At one time, I really liked flying. Not so much anymore. It’s not nearly as safe, this in spite of all the inconvenience I have to go through.
It’s not just the rise in incidents, but more the type. It’s just plain sloppiness. It’s just blind luck we haven’t had a great deal more loss of life. I mean when that plug came off that plane, that wasn’t carelessness but plain sloppy maintenance. (I’m not so much interested in who forgot to put the bolts in, but who it was that was suppose to check it.) Now we have wheels falling off. (was that design, maintenance Anyone want to write that one off to negligence. It’s just simply sloppy in every aspect, from maintenance or just lack of interest in safety and design to flight planning and tower personnel. Really, do you want helicopters flying close to your runway approaches. How in the world did that one happen. Just where is the next one getting ready to surprise us all.
It’s going to catch up and I don’t want to be on a plane when it does. Why would anyone?
Personally, I’ll wait until they work out these efforts at equalizing, instead of making decisions based on skill and ability.
