I can't give you a solid reassurance.

But, I can tell you some of my experiences.

Currently I am working on my private pilot license, so I have no real fear of flying(better not have lol)

Currently, for work, I fly all over the US, doing trade shows. I fly about twice a week on Southwest.

From the airlines standpoint: Security is at an all time high, and The chances of a Hijacking happening post 9/11 I would say are less than 2%

From a pilots standpoint: The equipment onboard todays airliners, is so advanced, it can land the plane all by itself. The pilots have nearly a full year of 24/7 flying experience(like 5000 hours)

I guess in summary, I'm not really of help.

All i can assure you is that the people are prepared for the worst, and when the worst happens, the best comes from it.
