I mean, I don’t think that’s the way to go about it. Trains don’t take me to my family across the planet in 11 hours. I’d prefer to feel secure when flying there.

Airbus will still be (mostly) safe. And I'm more concerned with the number of flights - particularly short flights that can be substituted by trains - than with flying per se. For long-distance travel, we don't have a comparable alternative (yet).
