The husband of one of my wife's friends is a ground engineer for one of the budget airlines. They never fly to a holiday even if it means a couple of days in the car to get there.
Apparently he can have several free flights a year but never uses them. I thought he was scared of flying but its not that and reckons if you knew how they were maintained I probably would not fly either. He also reckons we don't here about 90% of incidents.
There is a reason most budget airlines don't do long haul and its not because there is no demand he reckons.
