I'm one of those who would fly it. It's about figuring probabilities rather than gut feel. The odds of me dying riding a motorcycle which I do sometimes are like 10,000x those of dying in any airliner crash.
What's the probability of something happening when the probability you are given is probably wrong?
>commercial airlines in the United States between 2000 and 2010 was about 0.2 deaths per 10 billion passenger-miles
and
>390 motorcyclist deaths per billion vehicle miles
dividing gives 19500x per mile. Though I do more miles by air. It's all a bit approximate.
2. The commercial airlines figure which you've used is not from using the particular method of transportation, 737 max, which the use of you are justifying with the comparison.
3. If you wear a helmet, don't ride drunk, don't speed and otherwise follow traffic rules it will make riding a motorcycle a lot safer than average.
