I have flown hundreds of times and much of it in third world countries. Planes were mostly Boeing and sometimes Airbus. I never worried about the planes themselves, but what I DID worry about were the mechanics at third world airports. That was often worrisome.

We can also now worry about the mechanics in some American airports - due to illegal immigration and DEI, it’s becoming one and the same in some cases 😬

I don’t enjoy flying at all now that I do get to hear all the drama and issues on the inside of the industry but statistically airline flights are still one of the safest ways to travel, surpassing vehicular travel by far. And I drive my van nearly every day so 🤷‍♀️ guess we all have our risk thresholds. Airline travel is still low risk. But I think that may be close to changing.
