Jack,

The "Flame?" question is a direct question as to whether or not you are asking an honest and serious question or whether you are trying to ingnite some petty argument about airline safety.

I don't know who this Capt. Bunn is but anyone offering advice to someone with a fear of flying that makes them more terrified of taking to the skies is doing a great dis-service to the public. US airlines are highly regulated, extreemly standardized, have top notch maintainers and very skilled operators. Yes, some corners can get cut in the name of cost savings, but no airline can afford to place the lives of their customers in danger. Even the most conservative and apparently safe airline can have an accident. Just remember, you are more safe in the back of an US airline airplane than driving down the highway at any time of the day.

If there are any airlines to stay clear of they come from Cuba, central Africa, and any central asian country starting with K and ending in stan.
