A couple of "freight dogs" crash in a far out place. Sadly no one gives a damn!
Now, if a bunch of civilians had died and happened to be a slow news day, we would perhaps hear a little more!
Very true. The standards do seem to be different. As one of the major U.S. cargo outfits has proven, you can have a hull loss every three or four years and the public has little awareness since there is 'no significant loss of life'. And the feds don't shut you down.
Has FedEx ever made it five years without a hull loss in the past couple of decades? Much larger pax carriers like United, American and Delta certainly have as I recall.
