i guess that's not very reassuring at *all* but that's why i'm afraid to fly...

Well at first you said terrorists were the cause of your fears, and I wrote a rather long and I hope reassuring note. Now you say it's airline reliability.
Rather than give you yet another pep talk, I'll say meditate; center yourself on your fears and try to understand them and and answer them; you know that there are zillions of flights per day and few crashes. Is there something else behind your fear? Dig deep.
