The Nervous Flyer Thread

Hey guys ,

my apologies if this seems like a dumb question, but how safe is AA in these days of seeming financial crisis? I'll be flying with them in about two weeks and I'm already ****ting my pants. Yeah, I'm scared of flying.

I know, statistically flying is the safest mode of transportation etc, but the fact remains that there still are fatal incidents happening, and I always think that my flight's gonna be next. Especially since I read about the FAA maintenance issue earlier this year, and those crashes in 2001 and 1979 (which, according to what I read, was due to a maintenance mistake as well). I know those probably won't happen again the exact same way, and the airline learns from mistakes, but I'm frightened nonetheless.

I just want to make it safe to my destination. Any calming words would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
