Look at it this way, we would've lost one of our 5 Vol board posters had I not made it so it was sort of important

Absolutely. We need the Big Orange represented.

I'm a nervous flier, too, so I can empathize

I'm nervous on normal commercial flights but Its not bad, being this was my first time in a little arse plane, I got really nervous. More than I thought I would

Really? Xanax has always worked for me if/when I needed it while flying. After about an hour I'm like Ron White: "Take it down, I don't give a shite. Hit somethin' hard, I don't wanna limp away from this."

The info you posted on the 737 is skewed. How about looking up 737 accidents of operators in Western countries. You must take into account that some 737 operators in Africa and parts of Asia and Indonesia are operating under less stringent safety regulations. This does not denote the overall safety record of the 737. Poor maintenance training and practice combined with human error are fairly common in these regions with certain operators.

On the other hand, the last fatal accident involving passenger/passengers on a Boeing 737 in the United States was...Sept 8, 1994. When you consider that there are more 737's flying in the U.S. than anywhere else, it makes it one of the safest types ever put in service.

Glad you "survived"

I grew up flying with my dad a lot. So I got over any fears Of small planes around 5 or so.

most issues of safety in flight are dependent on the type of flight Visual Flight Rules (VFR) vs Instrument Flight Rules (IFR). VFR is inherently more risky because not everything is controlled (this is putting it all in the simplest sense). Many unaccounted variables in VFR flight.




well....this is just flat out wrong.

wait I read it wrong. He was right
