  • By all means, if you are concerned about something on the plane, please mention it to a member of the flight crew.

    That said, you’ve used a poor analogy.

    There’s a difference between understanding the significance of a rat in a restaurant and understanding the significance of some bolts missing from a piece of fuselage… which is the point of the comment you’re glibly replying to.

    Most people understand the concept of rats being harbingers of illness, but most people don’t understand the finer mechanics of powered flight. We put our trust in the flight crew to have that greater understanding, that they won’t put our OR their lives in danger by cutting corners. Chances are good that if the flight crew isn’t concerned, you don’t need to be either.
