For me (paxing for 50 years now) 330 is too long. I agree that the journey to the airport is hazadous but I will not boost their bonus in this way. I am well aware that the 777 has paved the way but (as given by others) it is the unknown, the unexpected that trips you up. It is the increasing complexity of systems and human's understanding and interaction with them. Four donkeys did not help AF 447.
