After 9/11, reduced air travel resulted in more road deaths because of change of travel method, more than might be expected from aircraft accidents. Thus, NG grounding could be involve greater risk from change in travel than the continued risk in service.
A number of years ago where I lived had NO SPEED LIMIT, and I regularly travelled at + 100 M/PH (160 K/PH).
Speed limits were then introduced to below 70 M/PH, the first year since the introduction of the speed limits had a very large increase in road fatalities.
Given the current situation/s grounding the NG may not be in the control of FAA and Boeing & that might spread to the other models. The 787 seems to have some other than battery and engine issues, that are being kept very quiet - hush money?
