First, pilots aren't payed by the general public so for that part
what they believe is irrelevant.

Second, if the general public believes flying is dangerous, flying
goes down the tubes along with the pilot jobs.

Well, those are valid points but to the latter I'd reiterate what I told
Dudley, which is that statistics can demonstrate that passenger airline
service is still the safest way to travel. Commercial aviation should be
separated from Air Transport Piloting, but of course I understand I'm asking
a hell of a lot of the media statisticians and anti-GA types.
