Fly. I love flying, it's my passion. I hate long automobile rides, it's much faster just to fly. A lot of times I just go up for fun


Answer:
Depends on if you can get cheep airfare. I would definatly fly if I get cheep airfare, unless your only traveling a few hundred miles. Compare the tickets and the gas. You’re less prone to be in a plane crash than in a automobile crash. Odds you will be in a plane crash from the top 25 airlines with the best records
1 in 13.57 million
Bottom 25 with the worst records
1 in 1.13 million
Your one-year odds of dying in a vehicle accident is about one out of 6500. Therefore your lifetime probability (6500 รท 78 years life expectancy) of dying in a motor accident are about one in 83.
So if safety is an issue…. Fly

Answer:
Drive. Flying is more dangerous than the statistics indicate. (Remember, statistics can be twisted to prove anything. Take Evolution, for example!)

When was the last time you saw a charred body get up, brush the ash off his or her shirt, and walk away from an air crash? How about never! There isn't much chance for survival when an engine falls off in mid-flight and the death-trap you're flying goes nose-first into a grain silo or a rocky canyon. People get up and walk away from automobile crashes all the time.

Edit: I see a lot of people here don't trust automobiles. But I'm sure you all own one! Hypocrites!

God Bless you-

Captain Art Griego

The Notle: I don't drink, sorry.

Neil: And this is coming from a guy with a purple mohawk. Wow.


Answer:
As with many things, it depends. Where am I going? Why? How much time do I’ve free for the trip. Who's paying? How many of us are going?

“Captain Art Griego” who, given his crackpot posting history, I seriously doubt is any kind of captain except in his imagination, stated

“When was the last time you saw a charred body get up, brush the ash off his or her shirt, and walk away from an air crash? How about never!

All that proves is that he has no clue. Think about it. Plane crashes don't happen every day. Vehicle crashes happen not only each day but per the captain “all the time.” Charred corpses don't walk away from car crashes, either, but sometimes living people do.


Answer:
If I wasn't sure before, I'm thoroughly convinced now: Captain Art is definitely a couple of cans short of a six pack.
