People die in commercial aircraft also. I used to like to fly commercial.
But over the years, the seating got tighter, and the hassles got bigger. I
still fly a few times a year. I was going to get a private pilots license
years ago, but not enough time with work, school and racing cars.
Just spend a few extra bucks and fly up front.

By the time you factor in all the BS fees it isn't even that much more
on a lot of routes.
When we went to Montana, the difference was about $350 and that did
not take into account 3 "extra" bags, food, drinks and convenience.
It wasn't even enough to burn airline points on.

As infrequently as I fly, I haven't flown coach in years unless it was
on Southwest where it's not an option. Even Spirit has an upgrade to a
2X2 seat with a lot of legroom for $50 or so. Life is too short to save
a few bucks to be cramped for 3-5 hours. You are right about the price
difference. If you plan ahead it's cheap.
