Answering the title question: I actually travel a lot by plane, since my family is all spread up thoughout the country. For the past 8-9 years I flew about 100 times. Last year, was 16 planes that I had to took. And everytime I got into the plane I would get a little scared, but not enough to make me stop flying. Even with all these crashes it is the better way to travel, IMO.

I suppose for you it would maybe make sense to fly since you have family throughout the world, but your chances of getting in a plane crash multiply every time you board one.  That brace for impact they tell you before you crash will do nothing once you belly flop onto concrete or water in a plane.  Not many people survive plane crashes, that may be due to being strapped into seats and drowning, unsure the main cause of death in planes, but these recent plane crashes have gotten me worried.  I will have to say thank god this one crashed somewhere where rescuers could react fast and save lives, else they would have all died.

I dont understand how the chances mutiply everytime I get onto a plane.

The more you fly, the higher chance of you getting in a plane crash.

if you look at the world like that you are going to have a hard time. everything in life is dangerous so plane crashes aren't that much different from regular things everyone does daily that can kill a person but yet you hear nobody about. i travel by train daily seeing people jump in front of trains on a weekly base, travel by car daily knowing that there is atleast 10 car accidents that killed a person a day yet i do not bother thinking about those things because there isnt anything you can do about it anyway.

I mainly just look at flying as a unnecessary risk, putting your life in the hands of others.  For example, I never let anyone drive me places, I drive myself.  This way I can control my fate, unlike when you put your life in the hands of 2 pilots that may not be adequately trained to pilot a crash landing to prevent the most possible deaths.

You drive yourself places,and control your fate?
What if a other car hits you? Or bus? Etc..

You can generally avoid wrecks from other people by being aware of what is coming towards you.  For example, one time I noticed someone was not going to stop at a red light, where I was stopped, so I just ran the red light and pulled over to avoid the wreck.  I mean sure it's bound to happen that you will be involved in a crash, but you have a much much higher chance of living in a car crash.
