The better point is you are much more likely to survive a fender bender than a plane crash

The statistic you were quoting was deaths per million miles traveled not “accidents”. Currently there are over 6 milllion car accidents a year in the United States. That is compared to approximately 1,200 airline accidents per year and once again 75% of those are in small aircraft. 6,000,000 / 1200 = 5000 times more accidents in cars.

What are you an airline shill? I don't fly because the class of people who fly these days are 1970's greyhound bus passenger material, the TSA protocol is B.S. and hasn't stopped a single incident in 20+years, And i don't want to smell a fat guy eating a tunafish and onion sandwich next to me.

I also am a large frame 6' and my legs and my ass dont fit well in a airline seat.

Yes, I could fly 1st class for 4x the price. thats a given, but I'd still have to fly with animals.
