Pilotpip, thanks. I think HotMama slightly misunderstood. I was trying to state the public opinion of safety. For what its worth, maybe they're right. A 747 could be safer, since it will have more experienced pilots. I'm not trying to start a war on pilot time/requirements. I'll stop now.
PS I still hate flying as a passenger in coach on anything. I'll let everyone know if hell freezes over and that changes.
