Of course, officially, Southwest wants to pray.
When you look at the numbers, number of engines that exist, number of hours they spend in flight, number of fan blade failures they experience, you realize the current level of engineering is more than adequate to insure excellent levels of public safety. You probably have a better chance of being crushed by a meteor while also being bit by a shark than you have of being killed as a result of turbine engine fan blade failure.
Oh, I agree, but then again, if it is possible to make air travel even safer, why not?
