I tend to take private cars (s class or 7 series) to/from the airport for that reason as well.
Whether warranted or not, I have concerns about the safety of the 787. I do not fear flying in general. The relative safety of flying compared to other modes of transportation is irrelevant.

I've flown 787 SFO-TPE, MEL-LAX x2, BKK-PER, EWR-IAH and will be doing SJC-NRT HND-BKK. There simply isn't a safety concern...a reliability (especially with UA) one perhaps.

No hull losses to date does not mean it's a good plane, or that it has no safety issues. It has had a major safety issue, with the Lithhium Ion batteries, that has not really been rectified, but instead fixed with a work around solution.
