I trust the pilot to be able to fly and land the aircraft well. I trust the mechanics to be doing their jobs well, or else. It's the maintenance crew I'd be suing if anything malfunctions on the aircraft, not the pilot. Well actually, I'd sue the Airline company and demand the maintenance crew be made responsible for it or take accountability for piss poor job they did on the aircraft which caused the accident, rather. I trust the cabin crew to keep passengers calm should anything happen, but unfortunately I have to say I no longer believe that it is their job description to make sure passengers are kept comfortable and service to the customers' needs. I believe they took that out of the job description title for good in the last couple years since the fuel crisis. They should take out "attendant" out of their job titles; they really don't attend to the needs of the passengers as well as they used to anymore, might as well call them "staff" or something.
Same goes for the airport staff of the airlines; I really don't understand why they put in the term "service" for some of these people's jobs because they just don't "service the customers' needs" at, all. Yeah, we get there from point A to point B for a lot quicker than the olden days for not much more cost, but really, for all the hassle you have to go through and the money you pay, the least airport/airline staff should at least do is pretend they need to act nicer. (Sorry, I have had a lot of bad experiences with American airlines/airports. My airport/flight experiences have been much better on international flights and airports outside of this country.)
In short, the people I depend on running the aircraft and maintaining it, I trust. The Airline company in it of itself, that's a whole other issue.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
