I just love how we can have a critical study about a failure that could have possibly led to the death of dozens if not 100+ people, a failure in something as routine and critical as flying in an airplane, and the article is behind a paywall.
We're getting very close to the point where the combination of the competency crisis and the greed crisis are going to start causing more people to think twice about doing things that were once common, like flying commercial.
Personally, I cancelled my flight later this month and am going to start getting in the habit of doing long road trips again.
Just-as-if-not-more dangerous? Maybe, but at least I have a higher chance of my fate being in my own hands (swerving out of the way of an oncoming truck vs being sucked out from a fuselage plug failing).

More inconvenient? Yep, don't care.
More expensive? Maybe, don't care.
