1. This is misleading because the number of people flying on airplane is significantly lower than those who have a chance for heart disease because they have a heartbeat.

2. Not flying on Boeing aircraft is much, much easier to do than avoiding heart disease.

This is a really weird response, man.
And how does that negate Boeing's maintenance woes?
What is your point?
