Airplanes are actually safer than many others ways of transport, it's just when an accident happen it kills many people at the same time, that's why there is necessity for increased security norms.
Well, yeah... kinda. Security norms have also been parially undercut in later years.
Imho, the equation has changed a bit since the FAA decided to let Boing self-certify their work, then a few airplanes dropped out of the sky over a rather short time period. Oops. You won't find me in a Boing 737 Max, not even if the tickets were free and I got paid for the trip.
But hey, at least all layoffs, downsizing, and work quotas raised so high that quality control became virtually impossible, meant that the the shareholders made a buck and the upper management could collect their yearly bonuses amirite...?
( for those interested in reading more on that, arstechnica has followed the story about the decline of Boing over many years... )
