@nozzer Having been a regular viewer of "Air crash Investigation" on Sky Discovery channel for a number of years, and noted SOME of the flight crews attitude to safety rather than polishing their ego's, I think the answer to your question must be "yes" - sometimes -.
However, aircraft maintenance in many cases has been a bit suspect as well. I distinctly remember the episode (recently aired again) that investigated the use of counterfeit parts, and that some such safety critical parts ended up on Air Force One!!. One hopes that there isn't a market for counterfeit auto land systems.
Experience; is something you gain, just after you needed it most.
When faced with two choices, simply toss a coin. It works not because it settles the question for you. But because in that brief moment while the coin is in the air. You suddenly know what you are hoping for.
