We always go away for 2 weeks. However, I cannot go on another plane,
I can't take the stress of it moving, turbulence etc....
I NEVER even get up to go to the washroom.
All the Valium in the world won't help me!

Don't worry. Triple/quadruple redundancy of every system on any airliner required by FAA LAW (and US Fed law by association) means you're more safe than in a Camaro on the freeway at 200km/hr.
Seriously, any aircraft operated by Air Canada or what not is also going to be cert'ed by the CAA and FAA. And they're tough/gripey SOBs. Reliability and safety is #1.
TLDR: Airplanes are more safe than if your Camaro had a lovechild with a Volvo.
