You don't wait until the problem grows and people start dying

Where did I say this? I said it's good they're being scrutinized. I said hopefully it would lead to better regulation and higher safety standards.

I'm talking about on an individual level, it's ridiculous to appeal to fear and say you're avoiding this thing forever because of a couple rare incidents that almost certainly won't affect you, especially while we're moving in the right direction in regards to overall safety. I hope this series of events results in a crackdown that whips Boeing into shape.

You're discussing in bad faith. Stop it.

In terms of speech you plan to give to Congress when you beg for a bailout I think this can be improved.
