I was a Navy aircrewman for over 20 years, I have over 5000 flight hours in the P-3 Orion. I love flying, but I hate commercial airliners. There is absolutely no fear factor, I totally trust airplanes. It's a comfort issue - I hate being cooped up in an uncomfortable seat in a cattle car. I'm used to being able to get up and do what I want during flight and having room to walk around. To put it in perspective, in a P-3 you only share space with 4 to 20 people depending on the mission. A P-3 is a converted Electra turboprop which in airline configuration has over 100 seats.
