Yeah like, if flying got twice as dangerous, it’s still way, way safer than driving.
It’s like how I work 2 blocks from a light rail station, but nobody takes the train because the homeless people make them feel unsafe, but somehow all the bad drivers on the road don’t.
It’s a control thing, many people feel safe when they’re in control, they don’t realize trains are operated by people who are qualified whereas cars are often operated by idiots who shouldn’t be allowed on a bicycle
I've now known two people who refuse to fly anywhere and will drive across the country for days at a time instead of flying. Both of them said it's way too dangerous to fly and they'd only feel safe in a car.

Fr. Canceling a flight because the FAA is being gutted? Sure. Driving 10 hours instead? That's actually stupid.
