So, if they care, they would find out who is running the flight and
stay away.
If they knew that there are substantial safety differences--but they don't.
If they cared they would know and find out.
They don't try to look it up because they don't realize that there's a
difference worth checking into.
Then they aren't really interested and certainly not paying
attention.
That Dateline, USA Today, the NYT, the AP and a multitude of other
sources point out from time to time.
They talk about accidents, but not safety.
The last Dateline (or maybe the one on CBS, I get them confused)
talked about lousy safety records, poor pilot training and requirements,
long commutes, etc. Same with the last CNN chat about regional airlines
and the last AP article I saw. Much umbrage and angst from the Fourth
Estate recently.
