The instructor explains that flying is all about risk management, and the student thinks, "Well, ****. Probably 90% of the people who died in airplanes thought they were managing their risks to the extent that they didn't expect to die that day. The instructor as much as said right now that only way I can *completely* manage the risk of dying in an airplane is by staying out of them. There's lots of risky things in life I can't avoid, but flying is a lifestyle choice." Don (Flying with that elephant since 1968. "So far, so good.")
