I don't think I would, I trust the mechanics, pilots and everyone else involved to make the correct choice.

However, I once flew from Mahe in the Seychelles to one of the surrounding islands in a small dual prop plane. When we landed the pilot started playing with the throttles, testing the engines, revving them etc.. Turns out we flew the 30 miles over the Indian Ocean on only 1 working engine. It just goes to show that the smaller airline companies and planes MAY not be as trustworthy as we assume.
