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.
