Having the public lose trust in the safety of flying is something I absolutely want to happen. This will have devastating effects on carbon emissions, and push more people (and governments) towards trains.
Devastating is a bit of an exaggeration with it being responsible for a whooping 3% (at most) of emissions and arguably helping raise the albedo a bit with their contrails.
So it would help a bit, it wouldn’t be a game changer though (except if you live near an airport, sound is another pollution that’s often ignored).
I mean, I don’t think that’s the way to go about it. Trains don’t take me to my family across the planet in 11 hours. I’d prefer to feel secure when flying there.
Airbus will still be (mostly) safe. And I’m more concerned with the number of flights - particularly short flights that can be substituted by trains - than with flying per se. For long-distance travel, we don’t have a comparable alternative (yet).

I would rather we start using blimos what can we do towards that
What is that like really fancy long blimps
y…yeah. That wasn’t a typo at all it’s a revolutionary idea.
We can even have a nazi punching lounge like in indiana jones
