1. Pilots are smarter than your average bear.

2. The airplanes we fly are not bricks. If the engines stop, it doesn't mean we are going to fall out of the sky. It just means we are landing sooner than scheduled.

3. About passenger's fear of flying (and dying whilst flying): If it's your time to go, it's your time to go. It doesn't matter if you are driving to work, sitting at home, or traveling in an airplane. So, fear not, we are going to do our very best to keep you alive.

4. Unfortunately for #3, if it's our time to go, it's your time to go too.
