Dirtyprop, thanks for your reply.
You epitomise the problem. Especially if you really are a commercial pilot.
Minimilisation of risk, should be the pursuit of all. You seem pretty laissez-faire.
The pax on this flight had no reason to anticipate their death on this particular flight. That you appear to consider such risk acceptable beggars belief.
The risks have already been minimized.
Proof of that is the outstanding safety record of this industry. Also, the pursuit of all airlines is profit. No profit, no airline.
Which is the same pursuit of passengers (saving) when they freely choose how to travel.
No one can anticipate their own death. But like it or not, death is part of life. It can happen to anyone in any possible way. If you really think you can completely eliminate any risk from your life or when you travel (by plane or other means), you're mistaken.
