So really, then it's a matter of what scares you more. Seeing it coming-or not seeing it coming. I love to fly, every chance I get, I fly. That is to say, it doesn't happen often, because I never have the money to go anywhere. But if I did, I would fly all the time.


That being said, it IS safer then driving in a car, but that doesn't mean it's necessarily safe. Putting your life in the hands of a pilot that may or may not be a practicing alcoholic or too tired from flying 18 straight hours or whatever is definitely not safe. Safer, yes. Not safe. Shoot, walking across the street to 7-11 for a soda isn't safe anymore. Going to work isn't safe, or school. But it (flying) is safer.
