Then I guess, amicus, passengers flying on the CFRP A350 and the significantly CFRP and composite (GLARE) A380 are also pretty much whistling past the graveyard every time they board one of those planes, as well.

In fact, having flown the 787 and A380 a number of times (and with my airlines of choice also choosing the A350), I guess I better make sure my life insurance is up to date.

And god save us when the CFRP A320 and B737 replacements start entering service in the 2030s... Ralph Nader is no doubt working on a new book to lambast Airbus and Boeing on their decision to move to CFRP. I suggest he go with the title Unsafe At Any Altitude.
