Is it safe to fly in a commercial jet...

And why aren't more people speaking about this?

In my mid-20s, out of nowhere, I developed a wicked fear of flying. It kept me off of planes except when absolutely necessary for many years. I flew to Australia when I got married and I flew home once to show my young son to family and then, I flew back when my parents were seriously injured in a car crash. That last flight and the realisation that I was missing out on so much because of this irrational fear, made me seek out treatment from an excellent homeopath. Two bach flower remedies later, my fear was gone and I have flown many, many times over the intervening years.

Now, however, I’m not so sure when or if I will fly again because to the best of my knowledge, fear of flying is no longer irrational.
