I doubt I'd be alone in that view.
I assume you avoid A330s and A320s too then, but wait, they suffered uncommanded nose down incidents when at altitude so although injuring passengers, they did not impact the ground.
I am more concerned about the number of toxic air incidents. Maybe they have been happening a lot in the past and only now are they being reported. I know its been the scheme for years but if the 4 turbo equipped vehicles I drive took the air entering the passenger compartment from the turbo, I'd have second thoughts about it. So the 787 is the only commercial airplane I feel safe in today - but I fly the others anyway.
