Heh, good thing you weren’t on that Alaska flight.
You might have reacted to that open door in an entirely inappropriate way!
The truth is that I preferred open doors on planes and helicopters, commercial flights made me feel boxed in and without any control.
From what I hear about current commercial flying conditions the claustrophobia would be nasty for me, as far as that door business, I have always liked collecting experiences and would have liked to have had that one since it turned out OK.
When my commercial flight lost an engine over the Atlantic going to Europe I had that fun feeling of possible adventure.
