Chaos Theory asserts that a butterfly flapping its wings in Hawaii may cause 
a hurricane in Florida - which is stretching causality somewhat.
  On the other hand, a minor defect in a jumbo jet may well lead to it 
crashing.
  Of course, a newly-designed aircraft may have teething problems, but are 
we entitled to let a few hundred passengers be the guinea pigs, or should 
such problems have already been ironed out - with loss of a test pilot or 
two?
  If a plane does have difficulties when in service, is it due to  design, 
maintenance, or ill-intent (terrorist)?
  Certainly, off-shore maintenance may not be the best option, if on-shore 
is available, as locals are more likely to be nationalistic and take greater 
care.  Conversely, a foreigner is not likely to worry too much if a rival to 
his own county's carrier loses market share.  It is a competitive world.
