Hmm, you seem to believe that people who don't fly because they are afraid of plans are afraid of planes because they have a mistaken belief about the statistical safety of planes. My experience with people who are afraid of planes is that they know planes are safer than cars, but none the less feel a visceral, non-rational fear of the airplane that makes flying deeply uncomfortable for them. Kind of like how you might feel if you were covered in insects, even if you knew that the insects were non-venomous, non-disease carrying, and clean.
