Maybe it’s just me, but I still love to fly commercially. There’s just something fascinating about going into the air and flying at some 30,000-35,000 feet...as long as you have a window. Around the world on the wings of professional pilots. Sometimes it can get pretty rough up there. But I’d still rarely miss a chance to fly somewhere I’d really want to go to.

I hope I don’t sound creepy, but I’ve been following your posts since I figure you’d be in a ton of threads relating to the crash and anything aviation related in general.

Are you serious about jumping up at the last moment?

If they did an episode with that, I missed it.

Wouldn’t you end up aft, if you somehow manage to get in the aisle? You’d crash into the galley at the same speed the planet was moving at when it impacted, which could be very, very fast.

The best way to survive a lane crash is to not be near a plane when it crashes...

I saw that “jumping up” idea in an old cartoon; even as a kid I laughed my butt off.

An OLD Playboy cartoon had two pilots calmly walking through the passenger cabin, whistling, while buckling up parachutes. The artists rendering of the passenger’s wtf looks was what made the cartoon.
