Actually, I would prefer to have my airline pilot believe in reincarnation. He would be more likely to be very careful since he would understand that if his actions resulted in the deaths of hundreds of innocent people he'd probably be reincarnated as a garden slug.

Anyone who thinks of suicide as karmic hot-wiring exhibits a total lack of understanding of karma plus a high degree of garden variety insanity. Most believers in reincarnation also believe that enduring suffering is an essential part of climbing the karmic ladder. Checking out early only takes one back to the bottom rung.
