I haven't flown in a plane since 1985. This is simply because I haven't had a good reason to do so. And I love to drive.
But I'm ready to fly if a destination really calls to me.
For sure plane travel is very safe (statistically speaking) but I must say I'm not encouraged by the recent Boeing "door plug done blowed off !" incident.
And today United Airlines found loose bolts upon inspection of other 737 Max 9's :
The door plugs are held on by just 4 bolts.
If I do fly, damn sure I won't sit next to a door plug.
Unfortunately, it's going to be a loooooong time before we find out what happened.
