In before the William Shatner picture.
Kinda upset me when we flew from NY to Ca to Hawaii...and everyone clapped when we landed. STG
I stopped flying when I decided that my company wasn’t paying combat pay. Flew after that to the Star Trek convention in Texas when I decided the panic was worth it. Was put next to an astronaut who pulled down the blind, explained every sound we heard and told me that all airline pilots are brain dead. I’ll stick with trains.
Either he has aerophobia or he doesn’t. If he does, I guess the flash cards don’t work.
I prefer to have a parachute and the doors or the back tail gate open, sitting inside a locked up passenger plane with zero flexibility in the situation is a little disturbing.
After you get where you’re going, take off your shoes and your socks then walk around on the rug bare foot and make fists with your toes.
Smoke ‘em if ya got ‘em.
When I was little I got scared just standing on a chair. Now I fly bizjets at 35,000 feet.
It’s not that I’m afraid of flying, it’s only that I’m afraid of screaming while dying while flying.
,,, at 66 years of age all I want is a seat close to a toilet, especially on a long/ultra long haul. In my youger days it was good to get a window seat but now with Airbus having cameras on the tail and under the fuselage you get an idea of what’s outside from the IFE screen. Flying doesn’t concern me but crashing does - as many people say, the chances of that happening are much higher driving to the airport.
I don’t fly mainly because my ears feel like they are going to explode. I’ve tried everything. Nothing worked.
Valium.
Drink heavily, everybody knows that.
If I can’t afford business/first class seats for next trip, I will not fly. Period. Had enough of standard class conditions. On one recent flight there was a very sick child in seat behind me and the plane was full. The child was in pain and cried loudly every 10-15 minutes. I rarely see young children in first class.
If you see DEI in the cockpit, best not to fly, at least if you’re going to a tricky place to land (such as DC, or during a Toronto snowstorm).
In light of the recent flight incidents and accidents,I gave it up 20 years ago.
I find that a few days before flying I get all stressed out.
Its not because I fear flying its because I always get jacked up by TSA. I find if I have a few classes of wine before I get in line I rather enjoy the free full body massage I have come to depend on.
Aisle seat, naw. You can’t see the engine on fire.
