Between snoozing air traffic controllers and problems with 737s, there's a lot to think about before you board your next flight. Ask your readers in an online poll if they feel safe in an airplane these days. Here's a poll you can try:

With sleeping air traffic controllers and recent problems with 737s, do you feel safe when you fly?

  • I figure flying is still probably safer than driving, so I'll take my chances and not worry.
  • Those news stories are pretty scary, but I wouldn't let them stop me from flying.
  • I don't particularly like flying anyway, so I would avoid it now for sure.
  • I refuse to fly anyway, so those stories just validate my position.

Be sure to promote your poll in print on page 1 or on your opinions page. Give readers the results from your last poll and direct them to your website to vote in your new poll.
