I have little choice regarding airplane manufacturer when I travel but I have more than a million miles on United mostly on Boeing planes. I'm sure I'm at greater risk on The New Jersey Turnpike driving to EWR. Planes are designed, built, flown and air traffic controlled by humans who are not infallible. There are always risks. Unfortunately, de-regulation since the Reagan error has led to lax everything when it comes to government oversight. But what's the alternative? Stay home? Can't. Business travel mostly.
Great subject...and timely, Al. Sad part is it's just conversation until his claims become reality and 300+ people perish at 30K feet. The end of Boeing as we know it.
