Understandable. After flying a lot in my 20s and early 30s somehow I haven't been on a plane in about six years now. A few years ago I stumbled on that youtube rabbit hole of videos about plane crashes, especially the ones with the black box audio and that use flight sims to recreate the events. I went through a period of having constant dreams about plane crashes where I was onboard and helpless. It became almost normal to me, but then at a certain point my subconscious moved on to the next thing. But now, when I think about getting on a plane, I remember all those dreams and wonder if it was the universe telling me not to. Who can know.
Anyway, have a good trip.
The secret is to bring a bag with an obvious honeypot pocket, so the agents cannot resist putting drugs there. Then you can quickly remove and take/smoke the drugs. Free drugs and no jail! Not many people know about this.
I've once pre planted drugs in my own luggage.
You should have seen the planters face when he saw my 20 grams of black tar heroin.
Even better was when he tried to explain it to the customs agent (Who in hindsight was also probably going to plant drugs) that it wasn't his and he found it there.
This isn't the 90s-mid 2000s. Complacency is at an all time high and competency is at an all time low.
From the engineers that design the aircraft, to the workers that build them, to the mechanics that maintain and repair them, to the pilots that operate them, there is a growing avalanche of minute "it won't hurt anything" errors, cut corners, and missed defects that compound into a steadily building crescendo of fatal accidents occurring in every single industry.
I would not board a plane unless my life absolutely depended on it. I'll stick to 20 year old manual transmission automobiles fully under my control, thank you very much.
I hate flying. Placing your life in someone elses hands is anathema to me. The cost coupled with the vast number of accidents due to pilot/mechanical error is terrible. There was a a tv thread about airplane crashes and most of them were preventable. Then you add in the radiation from the CT scan that US airports demand and it makes me never want to fly. But you can only take a drive/train so far and I want to visit Europe soon before it becomes unrecognizable.
I reccomend getting intoxicated before flying. Either alcohol or bendaryl (100mg for avg sized adult male).

Honestly the cheapest rooms are a pretty decent deal considering it includes food, as long as you have the time.
People worry about crashing, but there are something like 10 million passenger flights in the US per year, and there hasn't been a fatal crash in like 7 years. You know the real risk of flying....it's blood clots in your legs. You sit for too long and get a clot, the clots breaks loose and BAM, heart attack. There are literally hundreds of heart attacks on planes every year caused by clots. I knew 2 people personally who died from it on flights, both were old though. All you have to do is get up and walk around every hour or two.
...they expect one of us in the wreckage, brother.

>plane nose dives
>you can hear a mocking voice from the wienerpit calling you a moron moron moron moron for stepping onto this plane
When I was a kid I always had super vivid dreams of being in a plane crash. Every time I get on one I have flashbacks to those dreams. Kind of freaky.
the ONLY bad part of flying is the fricking ear pressure shit
Bring chewing gum
Other than that it's kind of comfy
Yes, be scared. Discourage everyone you know from flying. More leg room for me.

literally better than majority of western airlines
wtf is this schizo shit
he keeps spamming the same shit in almost every thread
report and move on
I'm very obviously taking the piss, moron
>i was merely pretending to be moronic!
sure thing buddy
I mean, something bad will happen or it won't.
Not like you have a say in the matter. It's in God's hands now. Or fate. Or statistical probabilities.... whatever you prefer to believe.
Actually you know what... it's probably mainly in the pilot's hands and those dudes who do the mechanical checks before flights.
The pilot only is in control for a few minutes during a flight, other than that their job is to monitor the autopilot.
Good. You should be nervous about flying.

You people are moronic. You do riskier shit than flying every single day, especially in the places you are going to.
plane crash is deadly 100% always
ground vehicle is not
NTA but that's wrong. Something like 95% of passengers involved in plane crashes survive
The worst part about flying is not the minute risk of crashing but the general lack of comfort of the experience.
I'm not scared of flying but I hate flying for that reason. I only fly economy and the experience is rarely good. Lack of space, mostly.
