I am absolutely terrified to fly. Most likely a mix of my claustrophobia and the lack of control. I don’t like being a passenger in most cases, which probably points out another problem with overconfidence in my own abilities, but that’s for another time. Flight attendants literally fly every day, and I guess multiple times a day. Holy shit is that stressful. I just read an article that talked about how the crew on a flight will look everyone up and down as they get on, taking note of “ABP” (able-bodied people) that they could get to help out in case of an emergency. Like, these motherfuckers are mentally recruiting potential help because their job has so many possible things that could go wrong. Aside from the major thing that could go wrong, which is hitting the ground at 500mph, or crashing on a mountain and eating someone’s Aunt Helen after multiple days without food, and then making a plan to walk off this snow capped mountain with another ABP.. Too much stress for me, thanks.
