5 Myths About Airline Turbulence

Saftey
Why don't you look at the positive side of things. There are thousands of flights each week and no wrecks in 5 years, that is incredibly good.
Commercial aviation maintenance
You think just one aircraft accident 5 years ago means aircraft are safe to fly. That’s a really ridiculous statement. Why do you think those aircraft inspections where missed. The work force that maintained those aircraft are now unemployed, reduced by more than half in the last 6 years. There are not enough people available to inspect and repair. A majority of the aircraft maintenance has been sent over seas, China, Hong Kong, and many other cheap labor countries. The FAA can’t maintain there oversight here in the US so how do you think they maintain oversight on those maintenance facilities over sea’s? Just because an aircraft hasn’t bored a hole in the ground lately doesn’t mean it’s safe to fly. Also comparing air travel to drive a car that just shows you have no idea what you’re talking about. You want cheap ticket, well your getting what you pay for!
