Since 2000 there have been five times more fatal accidents in the U.S. involving private and chartered corporate planes than airliners. So much for safety...
As for the private air travel and personal security just take a look at some of the posts in these forums. There’s raging hatred of the rich being stirred up by the left wing media, the European socialists who post here, and the Democratic party. Class warfare is being promoted as the solution. Kill the rich and eat their children. There’s tremendous Apple hatred from the right wing too because of Apple’s stance on social issues.
Yes there are idiots on these forums spewing aggressive animosity toward Cook, mostly on the libertarian front, where junior capitalists talk like Tim Cook is wasting time and money not being 100% purely focused on capitalistic theory at every second of every day. I've not seen even these people make actual threats of violence (which is not only against the terms of this site but also not protected speech). But if you're seeing it elsewhere, well welcome to the internet where anonymity unleashes the worst of human behavior. Such people are not indicative of anything other than their own individual stupidity. Don't mistake them for any actual "movement". The actual movements to worry about are the nazis parading through towns trying to inspire hate and fear, and even those people aren't a majority (the bigger problem with them is the conservatives who refuse to step up against them, which is terribly unpatriotic, since the USA literally fought a war against nazis and their ideals).
Yes, there are people being hostile to corporatism, but that doesn't automatically make them "European socialists". Being opposed to corruption and corporatism actually makes people more likely to be patriotic, since corporatism is destroying the way of life that, for example the USA, supposedly stands for.
Calling out the democrat party in the same breath as "European socialists" just shows that it is you who's been getting hyperbolized media. The democrat party isn't remotely extreme left. It's not remotely anti-rich or anti-corporate. The democrat party leadership is fully embedded in the corporatism wrecking our economies (globally) and they are outright protective of them (why do you think the democrat party avoided Sanders so blatantly?). The democrat party might be mildly socially progressive, in comparison to the republican party, but that's mostly where the differences end. The duopoly parties both seek a type of control that borders on fascism, because it's really government for the corporations, by the corporations.
Your claim that the left-wing media is "stirring up hatred of the rich..." comes from the right wing media stirring up hate for anything that challenges it. Mainstream (and even independent media of any worth) with a liberal bias isn't spewing hate and division. Watch it sometime. If all you see is hate and division, maybe you're extremely insecure in regard to facts and reality. The tactic of extreme hyperbole and divisive commentary is almost entirely owned by the right's talking heads. If you only watch/listen to those people, you're going to have a hard time getting any sense of reality from their extreme presentations.
1. To be honest, left wing “news” source do stir hatreted for the rich. Starting with repeating the same lie about 1% not paying taxes at all, which is an absolute and utter bullshit. In fact, the opposite is true, because it is the top earners that pay the majority of american income taxes.. while the bottom 50 almost pay no income tax at all. So, why lying, if not for the hate and ratings?
2. What corruption are you talking about when mentioning corporate america? Should it be prerogative of owners of those corps to decide what to do, or not to do with it?
3. Today's dem party is socialist alright. Obama, by far, is a socialist and Obamacare probably the single most socialist piece of legislature signed into law under his watch. So, claiming they look just a tad socialist is just A BIT dishonest, wouldn't you think?
4. I had a hard time when I was watched and believing left wing fakenews orgs, which are corporations for profit, btw. Good thing I finally stopped being so stupid.
No, you just traded one form of stupid for an even more virulent form of stupid.

Only if you factor in all personal aviation. Corporate jets owned and operated by corporations are different.
"Far from being death traps, the jets owned and operated by corporations for their employees have an average annual fatal accident rate over the last five years of .014 deaths per 100,000 flight hours — roughly equal to the airline industry's .012 rate, Breiling's calculations show."
