Is aviation getting more dangerous? Anyone in the field know? We've had multiple crashes this year when we had gone multiple years without a fatal crash in the 2010s.

    Not in the field, but I think it depends. It's for sure more dangerous on average if we consider the entire world, but I feel like that's mostly because of certain areas (US w/ toothless FAA and ATC shortage, Russia with the war&part shortages etc, ...) and new Boeing aircraft.

    Flying is still the safest mode of travel per km, and if you're flying Airbus/Embraer/COMAC/pre-2010 Boeing it's likely as safe as it was a decade ago. However it kinda sucks due to all the greenhouse gas emissions.

    Fuuuuuuuuck I was about to blindly post "I'll bet 10 grand it was a Boeing." Ofc it's a Boeing rofl. Look guys the Boeing shareholder meeting is coming to town 🎪🤡 🐘🤡🎩!!!

    I actually cannot imagine being an engineer and willingly taking a job at Boeing. "Yeah so I paid for my degree and don't actually have any engineering skills. Perfect you're hired."
