They’re called “airplanes”.
Flying cattle cars.
Suppose you live in a small town in flyover country and the nearest airport is 300 to 500 miles away. What then?
It’s just not the same ever since Dagney Taggart went missing.
So I just had surgery and the doctors said no flying for three months. For several years now I've been visiting my now 95 year-old mother down in Palm Beach. I have to get there from NJ. I work so ground transportation is sorta out. I fly.
But not for three months now. Thanksgiving Dinner has always (always!) been with my mother and it will be again this year. I have my train tickets with a private room each way. Not much work gets done Thanksgiving week anyway.
I thought I'd look at FR to see what FReepers might have had to say about what I'm in for.
