That is awful news TWA – something I didn’t know.
As for me; well I’m not scared of flying and I know the statistics well enough to know that it is unlikely that anything is going to happen to me.
I think its bigger than that….
It isn’t comfortable or pleasant being sat in a cramped space for 5 hours. It isn’t pleasant trying to get to sleep on a night flight but never to avail. The food is at best, edible so the excitement at the trolley coming down the aisle has gone (I always used to look forward to that).
Then add the odd bad flight in; no matter what stats tell you; if at 3am in the pitch black you’re being tossed out of your seat on a 767, desparately clinging on as the plane angles continuously at 45 degrees whilst appearing to drop every few seconds, then you can’t help get a little nervous. The flight I refer to was EWR-AMS in November; we all experience bumps and drops now and again, often lengthy and with the requirement for seat belts, but never have I experienced so violently and for 2 hours constantly to where I was ready to throw up!
I just worry that I’m losing the ability to even enjoy any flight, even a smooth one.
Whats wrong with me? Am I a freak or something? :rolleyes:
