Get this generationalist BS out of here. It isn't supported by the facts. Airline safety has improved with each generation. There were many more plane crashes in the 1970s-1980s when boomers were in their prime. Five times as many!


Heh, I remember back then when they said "Airplane crashes come in threes", while I don't think that's exactly true, the number of large fatal crashes was much higher.
