I grew up in the Airline biz. Remember sitting in the rear facing seats in the DC-9’s as a Kid. I remember when they stopped giving out the Metal Wings to us and went to Plastic and then None. And getting Cockpit Tours, Flew from Ohio to Chicago just to go to LAX to ride in a 747 back to Houston when they 1st came out.
I’d be very hard pressed to get on a plane these days. If I won a Trip/Contest or got to go back to Hawaii again or to Alaska but that would be the only way any more.
