>>1332634Aviation was considered daring and crazy from day 1, actually from before anyone even succeeded in flight. So it's more like the second option you described.
Also we're at a tipping point where the greatest leaps in safety will no longer be driven by the FAA and US flight culture. 30 years from now ATC will all speak Mandarin and daring travelers from developed countries will brag on future facebook about how brave they are for flying a US carrier on vintage US equipment (dreamliner is the last boeing)
