But suppose you did have a life expectency of 2 million years and the odds of dying in a plane crash remained somewhere near 1 in 300,000. Would it become rational for you to avoid plane travel?

My math is too poor to even see how that could matter, never mind having a way of explaining it. Best I can do is suggest that if it were true, then it's 'safer' to travel more and more as we age now. or ..
My brother and I are both 1M. We are going to take the same flight. He will never fly again. I will fly again as normal. Is he safer than me?
If he is, then the answer is to always fly with somebody who is on their one and only flight.
