flew out to vegas and back last weekend and was thinking how it almost never happens .

you would think with , i dont know , 5000 planes in the air every day , their would be 3 or 4 major disasters a year in this country .

It's amazing a baseball team's plane doesn't go down, with all those teams flying around the country all the time.

Closer to 30,000 commercial flights per day, and yes it is pretty incredible. I think about it everytime I fly. I hate to fly.

Waiting for the air carrier that books Journeyman for a trip...odds will go down drastically...

Not all that surprising, compare it to cars.

Now, all the planes are good planes and checked to be 100% working properly before each flight. There is nothing in the air for them to crash into like there are for cars. How often does a new car in good condition suddenly stop working properly in 1 trip? Not very often.

small planes crash every day....

JFK, Jr
Cory Lidle
etc.

Very true, but there's no way that you can compare those private puddle jumpers to commercial flights. Given the # of commercial flights that occur on a daily basis, it is amazing how safe they are.

Cessna's kill-especially when flown by an unqualified rookie.

Bill Gates still flies commercial - he's no dummie
