Sure, then let's fly other unsafe planes types as well to save money, and hand the benefits to the poor!

Except, in which universe do airlines hands out their revenue to the poor ?

That's not the point. The point is that the comparison between people's lives and money is invalid.

Because scarce resources are a real thing, there necessarily should be a value to life, otherwise you are just ignoring reality.

I like how people downvote this, yet when stepping over homeless people in SV think "I only make $100,000+, and I need every bit of it, even if $20 could drastically improve this human's welfare.

Then when they board a flight on their own: "millions is not too much to spare! No cost is too great for my life!"

It is a double standard.
