Yes it is scary, the problem with anything like this is that it costs money, and until people die then nothing will get done.
But to put this in perspective, the aircraft types that are affected, thankfully are few. In the case of the 757 it's no longer in production. Remember that flying is safer than the drive to the airport.
Yes BG it does cost money, but not doing anthing about it until people are killed cannot be acceptable in this day and age. As you say overall air travel is safer than going to the airport by car, the only trouble is when a plan goes down hundreds are killed in one go, and that IS very very scary.

I am flying with Thomson's, sure everything will be fine. More cars crash than planes fall out of the sky........ I hope hee hee

My mum told me to sit at the back of the plane, cos planes never back into mountains

Re: Toxic Airlines

Jaysay, I could not agree with you more, us aircrew really are at the poiny end. However airlines are run by bean counters and they have more sway over the rest of us. Just like the car industry people have to die before changes are made.

Slinky, Thompsonfly are a good outfit, I am sure your flight will be fine. Just a small coulpe of tips, Read the safety card, listen to the briefing, count how many rows between you and you nearest exit (I always do this). Like your thought on the rear of the plane, maybe thats why the 'black boxes' are at the rear
