Many times your car carries twice as many people as a FedEx, UPS, or a cargo 747 does. You are also, during your drive, just mere feet away from many more than 300 people at a speed that would guarantee death.

Civility is a virtue and mine is stretched a bit right now.

Thank you for your civil responses. There is never any reason to be rude or condescending here. Your comments were also right on the mark.

Reference the question that was asked, no one could possibly answer that question, unless they worked for the FAA.

As I am sure you know, every aborted takeoff (anytime the aircraft does not takeoff after receiving takeoff clearance while on the runway) must be reported by ATC to the FAA. Most individual companies require an 'irregularity report' of some kind to the company, but only the FAA would track that info industry wide.

Obviously, aborts are not an common occurrence, but they do happen.

LOL! You must work for dial an argument call center...

Hey Con, do ya think our personal vehicles should be treated like passenger aircraft when it comes to maintenance, safety inspections etc?

Wowza!
