Dylan Smith writes:

To be not committed in aviation is a very dangerous thing indeed. I
think the tired old quote is something like "aviation is not inherently
unsafe, But to an even greater degree than the sea, it is terribly
unforgiving of any carelessness, incapacity, or neglect."

Being committed in the sense of sacrificing else is not the same as being
committed to flying safely, and the latter does not require the former.

Going without a brand new gas guzzling SUV or two is hardly being a
martyr.

Doing without one will not pay for flying, which is much more expensive. And
for people who can't afford the SUV to begin with, it's a useless suggestion.
