No, not at all. The most dangerous part of flying is the drive to the airport.
Airline travel in my opinion is right up there with the half-baked concept of some fat American dude thinking he can make America great again, who was never great himself.
What we have today for the airline experience is the same experience it was over 60 years ago, no different really than what the 'real' world's perception has always been of the USA as Nation.
In both cases, the airline experience is poor for the traveling public who've had to deal with airlines and the global perception of America is poor for those who've had to deal with the American mentality. In both cases, nothing has changed in over 60 years... and in both cases, those experiences are getting more dysfunctional with each passing year.
When I fly on a corporate business trip about twice a month these days, I don't fly airline, I fly corporate jet. That doesn't mean we own a fancy corporate jet, it means we rent one for a few hours at a time.
Why corporate jet and not airline?
Because corporate jet flying made aviation travel great again which it never really was in the first place, which also means that airline travel today is no different than the USA ever was as a Nation in that regard.
