1. No
2. Yes
I flew on 7M8 once last year on December (not on AC). I had 3 choices back then, having a tight connection, 7M8, or overnight. I chose 7M8.
I understand the statistics of safety, and I also understand that me as a human have a emotional part. I am happy to discuss and agree that 7M8 is safer than driving or whatever, but sometime I do irrational things to make myself feel better, that’s it.
