I would. If they decide that the risks of offshore flying are too great for them, then fair enough, their choice. But if they decide they don't want to fly a specific type just because it is the most recent one to have an accident, but are quite happy to fly one that crashed a few years ago and/or far far away, then they are irrational and foolish and I have no problem telling them so. In fact it's my duty to. If we allow irrational and foolish decisions to go unchallenged then we are setting the human race up to fail.
