I plan on getting my last air travel in within the next couple of years. I don’t want to be flying airplanes in a nation with bureaucrats and regulators that have gone absolutely insane much longer than that.
I am thinking the same thing (ending air travel) - because of pilot diversity and just the general all-around hassle that airports have become.
Problem is, I have family on the East Coast and we enjoy traveling to Hawaii on vacation and there is simply no convenient way to get to either place except by air travel.
If I see an uptick in crashes, which I suspect, I will definitely stop traveling.
When the airline is more concerned with diversity than safety, it’s time to stop giving them my business - or trust them with my and my family’s safety.
If that's the case, I'd be sweating out the countdown to ending your need for frequent air travel.
Or perhaps you and the Mrs. skeeter just want to do some elective traveling of the world. That's difficult and very time consuming via ground and ocean transport.
