I can understand her POV. I flew to some Star Trek conventions, but would NEVER fly for work. My theory was that they didn’t pay combat pay. So they sent me coast to coast 3-4x per year for a decade by train. Since I retired, I’ve never been on a plane, and doubt I ever will be.
I have never known a PhD to sound so insecure and demure. Never. They always have an attitude of extreme confidence even when they are full of BS. Husband caught something about the investigator questioning her about flying everywhere and her lawyers butted in saying that was privileged info. Weird. Didn’t hear so can’t explain.
