Regardless of how one feels about the design and certification standards, the fact remains that they are standards and represent a sizeable fleet. If some pilots feel that they can not adjust to these standards than they should simply stand down until such time that the standards are changed to accomodate them as the fleet retires due to old age.
The passengers deserve reassurance that it is safe to fly, not condemnation of the fleet that they fly on by people that were entrusted to understand and be trained to safely fly this fleet.
