There is no question that fear plays a role in flying whether it's
airline or personal, with the latter provoking a response several
orders of magnitude greater than the latter. However, I doubt that
there are studies that show an _increase_ in cowardice in GenX. I
sure hope it's not true. Did you find any supporting information for
that notion that you can cite?

For decades, there has been a general increase in fear in the population,
driven principally by news media, and by government collusion with those
media. People are more fearful of everything nowadays than they have ever
been in the past (in U.S. history), and the trend is accelerating.
