I relax when it's turbulent. The airframe can handle it [1], and at least the pilots are awake.

[1] There's a speed limit for turbulence penetration, chosen such that the wings will stall, rather than over-stress the airframe.

Thank you! That's definitely a great way to look at it. Complacency and habit breed accidents. Although not the the Boeing/mechanical issues. Still worried about the ghost in the machine or gremlins!
