PACE.
The reason no life has been lost, thus far, is because no one is stupid enough to deliberately fly into an ash cloud. When inadvertent flight into ash HAS occurred, severe damaged and flame-outs HAS occurred. If I remember correctly the Boeing book says don't do it.
During my career, I guess I averaged 4 lightning strikes per year, maybe more, maybe less, and god knows how many bird strikes. All of which I would have loved to avoid, BUT, I didn't kill any of my crew or passengers.
There are no double standards, just your own BS
