If you were on a plane which cannot land safely, would you be happier to know there were parachutes available?

yes. But having done a parachute jump I'd rather not fly. Ever.

I'd be happier if I knew there weren't enough parachutes for the pilots.

I would not be reassured at all if there were parachutes ONLY for the pilots.

Couldn't the passengers insist on democracy and vote the parachutes for themselves, even if that meant sharing? smiley - winkeye

As the majority of intercontinental flights are over ocean the prospect of becoming shark food is hardly reassuring smiley - sharksmiley - sharksmiley - shark

If you were flying from New York to Las Vegas, only two bodies of water would be big enough to soften your impact: the Mississippi River and Lake Mead, assuming that the latter isn't too silted up to be useful.

I'm just about to go to bed. I shall probably go to sleep thinking about the Queen's Knickers.

I'm not expecting a particularly restful night.

Thanks.
