“The sky is falling” isn’t a very good argument, dude. Most people learn this in elementary school.

The FAA and I claim the same thing. Commercial aviation is safe. All commercial aircraft, of any size, are safer than any other commercial vehicle. The facts are on our side.

You are terrified that commercial aviation will be unsafe in the future. but you have no facts on your side. Merely speculation based on fear of the unknown. People have been afraid of things “crashing from the sky” since the birth of aviation. People were afraid of jets, they were afraid of transatlantic flights, they were afraid of autopilot systems.

Anything new can strike fear into the uneducated.

The FAA doesn’t think the future will be less safe, because they have educated themselves with the facts. And I trust the FAA. Their success speaks for itself.
