That's an ... interesting failure of statistical thinking. Fire in the cabin is by far less risky than many other potential harms he encounters en route to the airport.

Assuming your clothes fit properly, your choice of clothing will have little effect on your chances of surviving your journey to the airport. However, clothing that might help you survive a plane crash will likely have the same benefit in a car crash.

I used the term fire loosely, it was basically a plane crash and subsequent fire, an inferno in other words not a small camp fire around the center aisle seat.
