I do not question your arguement on risk! but if you read my previous posts you will see there are FAR greater demonstrated risks with a long history of fatal accidents which we do accept and think little of.
Ash todate has a couple of unfatal incidents in dense ash at night and no reported incidents in light ash in over 50 years and millions of flights.
The percieved threat and thats all it is does not warrant the restrictions and financial hits that light ash has caused.
If you want to avoid being killed in an aircraft then dont fly as there is always an element of risk.
Ash in low density is one of the tiniest risk situations and doesnt justify the reaction it has generated or the financial damage to the aviation industry it has created much of which has been media generated hype and scaremongering.
I can point you in many areas of aviation which do hold a far higher risk element and proven risk element if you want to improve safety but it aint ASH
