Yeaaaaaah, I don't fly as much anymore. She made sense.
In meantime, how many people in the US have died or were injured in recent memory? Flying has become worse but still is much more safe than driving. As I write this new came out that 6 people died in a mult vehicle accident in Montana. Part of the problems which are happening are from rules that are designed to protect the flying public.
