People are supposed to die in war, and automobiles are operated at the whim of the one person driving them whereas commercial airplanes are operated in strict accordance with a protocol that's supposed to prevent killing people and trashing the multimillion dollar commercial equipment. Nobody gives a crap when two guys in a float plane crash in the middle of nowhere, because the circumstances said aircraft is operated under are pretty close to that of a car.

I'm not gonna call your question silly because it was in earnest, but it does seem to indicate problems with your world view that you consider deaths under these differing circumstances fungible at a 1 for 1 rate or thereabouts.
