I’m no expert on aviation but I can’t help but notice that the only two crashes were aircraft being piloted by Third World airlines. I’d be willing to bet that I’m not the only Freeper who’s ever had a white knuckle flight on a Third World airline but I can guarantee that there’s a huge difference between Lufthansa and Air Malawi.

Yes. However, Boeing sells aircraft to many airlines and Boeing is responsible for the manufactured safety of those aircraft. There should be people responsible for the design, implementation, and testing of those aircraft (and not in the executive levels, but rather Systems, Software, and Test engineers).

I think you've missed my point. Just consider all the differences you'd see...or assume exist...between flying Lufthansa and flying Air Malawi.

I've flown both...and it would take days to describe the differences I saw.And they had nothing to do with executives or engineers.
