Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Do you feel safe flying commercial airlines??

Bidumb’s FAA is doing bad things with this. People will die as a result.

They tried this in the ‘80s and it was a train wreck.

I flew about 100 flights last year. I feel pretty safe.

That, and the frequency with which they manage to lose luggage. My wife and I took a trip a few years back, and when we arrived in Seattle our luggage was in Atlanta. When it finally caught up with us we checked out the contents. The person who inspected my wife's luggage must have been eating while they worked. Her clothes were covered with food crumbs.

Zero worries here. We just returned from a trip to Italy. All went just fine.

I'd much rather be in my Super Cub than a commercial airplane, but flying commercial has sucked the last 20 years or so. I remember flying Pan Am and TWA in the 70s and 80s when flying commercial was fun.

At least all the pilots, mechanics, and ground crew weren't forced to take an unproven vaccine that later was found to cause heart damage....oh..uhh?

I never flew before

Well, we're all going to end up in the ground eventually and usually without notice. Is one way any better than another? Your chance of dieing in a airplane crash is much smaller than just about any other event so I don't sweat the danger part. What I do concern myself with is how poorly the airlines treat us at times- that really pisses me off...

'Stylish'

I worry less about the pilots...

And more about 300 fat unwashed fuggs over-stressing the air-frame.

US Commercial flight carriers are currently conducting about 5,670 passenger flights daily. Roughly 100,000 flights take off and land every day all over the globe. Many months pass between airline crashes, none at all in some years.

I felt safer on military aircraft. The military didn't seat you in the propeller arc.

I feel fine with US based carriers. Not sure I’d put my kids on Egypt Air or Aeroflot.

No, I don't like being treated as cattle and I feel naked without so much as my pocket knife on me. I avoid flying unless it's absolutely unavoidable.

I don't know if you're saying this in jest or not but I've met a number of people in the commercial, .gov, and private sectors of aviation that will not fly commercial for any reason.

The funniest of them was a former Marine that was with the Air Wing. He said no fugking way would he get on any bird after his time in the Corps. LOL

By that logic I should never carry a gun.

No

No I don't fly period

Did anyone listen/watch the video of the non swimmer that was the control tower operator? Told the pilot to proceed to a runway after a collision he caused for takeoff… Pilot was pissed.

Huh?
