Commercial pressures in aviation? Of course there are as the whole thing is a business in which people attempt to make money. Pretty much a vain attempt these days but hey ho things can change.
They haven't changed mind you for about 50 years or more. What has changed is regulation on account of the unacceptable number of bodies at the end of the runway; which is why aviation, or any other method of transportion, including your average car, is now more safe then ever before.
I cannot think of anyone, except a complete maverick, who would knowingly put a flight at risk.
If you seek sensation I would look elsewhere.
