Personally, I never saw any reason to jump out of a perfectly good airplane.

There is no such thing a "perfectly good airplane" there is just ones that have not crashed yet. :)

I had 42hrs in my log book toward a license, when my instructor’s son and family died in their C-172, the same plane I was training in. Hit a power wire on approach to a small rural airport. I didn’t log anymore hours after that, in ‘80. I quit flying commercially in ‘96, after TWA 800. If I can’t get there by driving, I don’t need to go there. Heh.
