Re: FlyHawaii Airlines?
I'm not claiming any rational reason for my preference. It's purely emotional, and of course groundless. (No pun intended.) I know I take my life into my own hands and put myself in much greater risk just driving down the H-1 freeway. Statistics alone don't stop anxiety, though.
I used to be terrified of all air travel, but had to get over it quickly when a job required me to fly all over the place.
FWIW, jets are generally less prone to crashes than propeller planes, but that can be attributed to a number of reasons (i.e. average flight hours of pilots), and further, propeller planes tend to fly at "survivable altitudes," whereas with a mid-air disaster on a 747, you might as well be in space.
