Flying on an airplane is dangerous?

My mother strongly believes in not flying on a plane (commercial airlines, specifically).

You know how there is a surgeon general’s warning on packages of cigarettes? My mother would like to see a warning on the airline websites and on board the plane.

My mother says it is a fact that flying on a plane is the most dangerous form of transportation, and people should dread getting on a plane so much that they should avoid going anywhere that requires flying on a plane to get there.

So, she would probably like to see a warning about how dangerous flying is and that people should pray for their lives before, during, and after every flight. When you buy your ticket, the airline should ask whether your affairs and will are in order.  Recent incidents only reinforce her belief that flying on a plane is dangerous.

As far as she is concerned, nobody should go anywhere too far by car.

Finally, she says she heard on the news that a massive airline industry labor strike in the USA is imminent, and it will effectively shut down all the airlines.
