Am I the only one who is beginning to think Boeing jets are categorically unsafe for commercial flights? Up until recently I've been dismissing the fact that Boeing seems to account for the vast preponderance of FATALITIES in commercial flights. Maybe Boeing accounts for virtually all the commercial flights? Maybe Boeing gets almost all the bad pilots and bad maintenance crews? Maybe Boeing planes are used predominantly on the most dangerous airports? Or most dangerous flight paths? Or most dangerous times of day to fly and land? Or? Or?
But I am beginning to think that maybe Boeing is utterly incompetent to make a safe airplane and needs to be shut down for the good of humanity?
I just tried to look for a short, clear summary comparison of "Percent of Boeing accidents vs Percent of Boeing commercial planes".
What I got back was a bunch of hits where the answers seem to have been designed to obfuscate the concerns which keep crossing my mind, and likely the minds of other consumers: Is the pattern of all these massively fatal plane crashes seeming to occur primarily on BOEING planes just a “coincidence”? Or bad reporting? Or my faulty memory? Or what?
Anyway, I am thinking of looking for a different brand of plane on future flights. I suspect that may make it really hard to get to some places I typically fly to the most.
Maybe I am being DUMB agreeing to fly on Boeing planes, instead of coughing up perhaps a bit more money, or spend a bit more time actually flying?
