#4 Why are we scared of flying on planes?

When I started, I was a control freak and unwilling to surrender to the apparent whims of the pilot.

Sometime later, commuting daily for years, I found the flights a good time to nap and would knock off before the seat belt demo.

#7 Missing the point. Boeing stock will bounce when they announce the next sale of aircraft. Look at the 5 year trend. The stock is a sine wave. Buy it now, it will bounce back and you will make 10% in two weeks. No govt help none of that

#8 The MAX 9, like the 737-900ER, features a rear mid-cabin exit door on each side behind the wings that is required when used with dense seating configurations. On less densely configured aircraft, the exits are not required and plugs are installed in their place, as was the case on this aircraft. During the climb, the plug blew out, causing the decompression.[248]

#10 Planes crash from time to time. These days, we almost always know in painful detail why a plane has crashed. Identified problems are corrected pretty quickly.

It's still safer statistically to fly than to drive.
