    Yikes.

    For a while I hated flying. Freaked me out even though I knew statistically it is a safe form of travel. Then I watched a bunch of Air Disasters shows and realized how many fixes they have put in place and I felt a lot better about flying.

    Then I subbed to /r/AviationMaintenance. I really don’t want to fly anymore.

      Used to think it was statistically safe, then 737MAX crashes happened. Not trusting any airplane manufacturer any more.
