Why muddy the waters by comparing apples (airplanes) to oranges (cars)? The loss rate of other aircraft models is what's relevant.


I don't think it's the loss rate of 737 Max vs other models that is what's relevant either. I said safety of driving to an airport vs flying in a 737 Max. We have to get total number of passenger hours/miles for both methods of transportation and compare those with deaths. I'm not sure if those numbers specifically for the 737 Max are available.


literally the comment before:

> it would still be more dangerous to drive to the airport than it would be to fly on a 737 Max

context is relevant in a discussion.
