Your comparison completely ignores the decades of life that are likely
lost in a fatal plane crash (on average, crash victims are decades
younger than the life expectancy for adults). Surely that loss far
outweighs any preference one might have concerning the manner of death
itself.

I prefer the sudden means, and the plane crash will do about as well as any.
