I don't agree with your premise to begin with, but this is just ridiculous. Nowhere is >10K fpm a "relatively [slow]" descent. You're awfully cavalier with your slinging of statements like "no problem launching..."

Air travel IS inherently safe, in all but the most remote of places.

I suppose you similarly don't fly AA because engines and tails have fallen off, don't fly Delta because they attempt to land in thunderstorms and encounter microbursts.

Who do you fly?
