Yes, safety is a commodity. That means it is negotiable.

The fog enters when the consumer makes a choice. As a commodity, should the consumer be apprised of his/her choices? Chances?

I think after all the recent kerfuffel, that Airbus is mostly guessing at what constitutes a hard floor for safe flight.

Again, pilots of type cannot agree on what is safe re handling the airbus.

Not comforting.
