To be fair I see this as mostly “voting with my wallet” at this point. Their safety statistics by the numbers are still incredibly good, but this rash of issues and the uncovering of sloppy safety practices in an industry that should be harnessing experience and technology to achieve mind-blowingly safe travel is inexcusable and revolting. They have proven they can’t simply be trusted, and from here on in I put any further blame on the US government as the clear answer here is much more stringent oversight and regulation.
This is always the problem with laisse faire capitalism. People have shown time and again, they will do whatever they can to increase profits. If we don’t have regulations to stop them, and strictly enforce them, corners will be cut and profits will increase until people start dying in large numbers.
