Eh, why not sacrifice a couple of goats? I know plenty of Christians
who pray before a flight. Who am I to criticize another man's
religion?

Because by praying, you're trying to effect outcomes of the unknown or
things that you have little control over. It would be like praying for your
engine to fix itself as opposed to having a certified A&P look at it.
