I’ve never liked flying since 9/11 but I also took a flight out of Newark that week and had a bad feeling about that flight before I got on it… not been right about flying ever since. However, my DH flies for work and family obligations and I am extra nervous these - whether it’s logical or not, I’ve always worried about a collision at National due to the warnings they have given over the years so with each incident I get a little more reluctant to fly at all.

No. I bought my own plane.

Nope. I would get on a plane tomorrow without a second thought. DD flew back to school Sunday and DH flew today. Not the least bit worried

We need another thread on this?

I’m a nervous flyer but also a brown person who is a naturalized citizen. So I’ll be avoiding international flights for some time.

Not a chance I'm getting on a plane any time soon.

Nope. Thousands of times more likely to die in a car accident.

Are you nervous walking across the street? How about driving to work or the supermarket? Are you nervous you're gonna get hit by lightning? All are significantly more likely to occur than anything commercial aviation related.

I am relieved I have no commercial flights for most of this year.

I'm supposed to fly early May and am a little nervous about it.
