Having the public lose trust in the safety of flying is absolutely not something you want to happen. This could have devastating effects and I think enough is enough and the government needs to step in and take over running the airlines. It's too important to leave gold hoarding dragons in charge of it.
Silver lining: less flights booked means less emissions for the environment.
Maybe even a return to train travel.
I hope that prompts more funding into Amtrak if people do opt for that!
One can seriously hope, and moreover hope that the trains are electrified. We seem to be pathologically afraid of re-electrifying rail in the US.
