It really doesn’t make sense to arbitrarily talk about one’s level of discomfort with a specific airline type without warrant. Every time I rode on an MD the thought of a crash landing crossed my mind. There is no other airplane I’ve ever flown on that made me recall prior deadly crashes while riding on it. The UPS crash was the final straw.
