Good one. Or when they start obfuscating the risks and the data. When airlines and the gov't collaborate on corruption to get our money and provide us nothing.


You can’t obfuscate a video of a plane flipping over.

There are too many plane enthusiasts videoing take off/landings all the time.

My fear of flying will be more impacted by extreme turbulence from extreme weather than air traffic control issues.

flying is still much safer than driving but I’ll probably try to avoid DCA.

Also some airports are riskier than others.

Some roads are riskier than others.

Some cars are less safe than others.

Shall we continue?

That’s not an answer. There’s always a tipping point.


Which is different for everyone because not all travel has the same level of necessity.

Traveling for health care is different than traveling for a wedding you hardly want to attend.

Part of my thought process includes that even if there are no more changes mandated from DOGE or the govt, the humans who are doing that work are under the same stress that we all are. See how many federal employees in in the Jobs and Careers section are totally distracted at work due to looming possible change and layoffs and are not sleeping well at night? So are the people who are charged with keeping us safe. On a call with government counterparts the other day and very clearly a DOGE email came in to them while we were on the call. The behavior tone and attention of the counterparts changed immediately and en masse. I'm not worried about anything more the govt will do necessarily, they are doing it now.
