John, as a public service, please tell us which airplane models you consider unsafe!

Sorry michaelr, but since it's a personal opinion and I don't have access to information to substantiate my concerns, any "listing" would be hearsay and of no value. It could also subject me to "retaliation" that I don't care to face.

Suffice it to say that the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) and the NTSB (National Transportation Safety Board) are informed of my concerns, and in part my concerns stem from failure of a couple of makers to respond to agency demands for corrective actions.

None of the airplanes on my "personal blacklist" are commonly used in international travel, and if properly maintained are "safe" to levels deemed "acceptable" by regulatory agencies. I just don't like a few of them.

I have flown in several of the ones I dislike most, when it was part of the job, so obviously it's not a "compelling fear." But now I have a choice.

John
