Aviation requires years of training plus training for the specific type of aircraft. Commercial pilots need thousands of hours as co-pilots before they can be in command. Pilots are also in constant contact with coordinators (ATC) or follow exact routes, dozens or even hundreds of miles apart from other aircraft, where contact is not possible (e.g. over the North Pole). How is this comparable to the relative mayhem on public roads?
