I hear ya. But how many flights has the C402 had with no issues? They have daily scheduled flights. I get that flying in general is somewhat of a gamble. They are built and flown by humans. Things are gonna happen. But not one flight into Anegada did I ever get that "oh crap" moment.

I'm not disputing your assessment. You certainly know aircraft better than I. But from someone who doesn't, how am I to know when booking a flight that the aircraft is at its max landing length? As a consumer I have to assume the airline has deemed it safe. Until tonight I never would have thought different.
