I’m afraid of flying and I fly several times a year. It’s an irrelevant point.
Not in this case it isn't. She used that excuse to delay her hearing. I imagine she was heavily coached on when the tears should flow during that delay.

Not as she cited such as an excuse to get out of/delay an earlier scheduled hearing.
It’s not irrelevant at all.
She said that the timing of her testimony must accommodate her fear of flying. She used it as an excuse to rig the procedure. But when she has other agendas in mind, her fear is not a factor. She flies.
Isn’t this hearing taking place today on Thursday instead of Monday because of her telling the Senate that she had a fear of flying?
You’re not paying attention.
That's a total non-sequitur.
How many times have you declined to do something critically important, using the excuse that you are afraid of flying?
You missed the point. Dr. Ford had the hearings postponed supposedly so she could drive or take the train from California to Washington DC. But then she flew on a plane, which she apparently does frequently.
And then she testified that she flies all over the pacific to go surfing and vacationing.
So apparently when she wants to go somewhere, she can. But when it is something important, like testifying to the Senate, then she doesn't.
What Dr. Ford showed is a manipulative personality who uses alleged disabilities to change situations to favor her. That tells you a lot about her credibility.
