I don’t think it makes sense for passengers to worry about the plane model. I haven’t done the math but conceptually it’s like being paranoid about taking plane A that has a 99.99998 safety vs plane B that has a 99.99999 safety.

For the crew, things are a little different given that they are all day long, all year long in the same plane model, so those minuscule risks compound.

People are bad at conceptualising low probabilities. That’s why they play lottery!
