I saw a documentary on the airlines, and while what you guys are saying is true, you're not looking at the whole picture. Bottom line is money in any business, and from what I saw there are certain problems with planes that the airlines may be aware of, but instead of recalling a shit load of planes cause of a flaw in the design (the example in the show had to do with the landing hatch gear. Something about the way it locks wasn't 100% safe) they estimate how many plane crashes out of how many flights there will be. Say 1 crash in a few million or something. So rather then fix the problem and save a couple hundred peoples lives every year, economically it's not worth it as it could cost billions. That kinda shit scares me.
