Anyone having new (or renewed) fear of flying?

I hate it. For me it's more all the uncertainty around it, connecting flights, feeling like cattle and powerless. Once on the plane to destination, I feel okay.

No, I fly weekly. Its just another mode of transportation.

That is not helpful.

It is smug.

Which is MUCH more dangerous than taking a commercial flight.

We were supposed to go to FL for spring break to visit the in laws. Instead they are flying here. I don’t want my kids on a plane.

My son is flying out of Reagan next week, and I'm nervous. But I haven't said a word to him; no need for both of us to worry.

+2 and have an amazing international trip in a couple of months. Hoping the excitement continues to supersede the anxiety. (And that there are no more accidents between now and then.)
