If I find out my mother is dying and I want to make it there before she dies, I'd rather take a two-hour flight than a seven-hour drive.

So no, not always.

So, just take the flight in the rare case that it's an emergency, and otherwise check if there's a better option

We cannot have airlines that exist purely for emergencies unless they are so cost-prohibitive that they are only usable by the rich. In order to have airplanes criss-crossing the world for that purpose, they have to work on a regular basis.

That is not a tenable way to do things.
