I think this is more appropriate in the brand new sentence community.

You'd think Germany would have the best rail service in the world.

Privatization man. Rail should belong to the people, not to profit oriented buisnesses.

They're saying that aviation professionals are obsessed with planes to the point of romantic infatuation, and would do anything to prevent them from crashing.

I'm getting confused by "those things". What things are we talking about? Are they talking about the plane, or something else.

My father used to be an airline pilot and I know airline pilots can be a bit obsessive but it's not about the plane as much as it's about all the procedures and regulations. They mostly swear at the planes. Cabin crew mostly see it as just a job, with some bonuses that you don't normally get. Crew don't get assigned to a particular plane, they move around quite a lot, so they don't really get attached to one aircraft in the way that sailors may get attached to their ship.

Everyone agrees that privatizing roads would be a bad idea, but for some reason they're okay with it when it comes to trains.

I think they're talking about the mechanics, viewing "those things" (the planes) as wives, the mechanics' autistic (<-complimentary) love transcending material and size, to reach around to lust.

Sounds about right, to be honest.

There might be a very good reason for that... regulations are often written in blood

Pilots used to be pretty insane. I'd generally describe modern pilots as more obsessed with the privilege to fly than the actual procedure itself

It’s usually an intentional omission. I just think things are funnier when they don’t have punctuation at the end. Makes it feel more like a quip. Only god can judge me

"Everyone who works in aviation wants to fuck these things" these things = the planes, "wants to fuck" = is overly emotionally attached to the plane. "every plane that crashes is a wife who dies" = the technicians will dearly mourn the "death" of the plane, and don't want it to happen in the first place.
