Safe, in what terms? Safe from poor pilots, safe from crew, safe from other SLF, safe from mechanical failure, safe from dirty cabin air, safe from typical airline food, safe from >100ml bottles of water, safe from airport security, safe from good pilots (performing fly-bys) , safe from my captain's hallitosis, safe from Boeing rudder faults, safe from Airbus x-wind inexperience, safe from Brazillian aircraft safe from Canadian aircraft etc?
If flying worries you, don't leave your house, don't cross the road, don't get out of bed etc etc (although all these have their own problems....)
