The thing is, there would be no need to discuss any of this if it wasn't for these poorly-trained pilots flying one of the thousands of planes ordered. And SLFs decided (so far) that the ticket price covers the risk of flying with less reputable airlines (which again, is probably better for them than not flying at all to get where they want).
As was stated before by a safety engineer, you can address the current situation by more training for a lot of people (increasing costs hence tickets price), and only reducing the risk by a small margin (HF being what is is). Or you can fix the design at a lower cost for everyone (but Boeing), considering that the current average level of airmanship is sufficient. One could say that given the actual safety record of the industry, it is.
