Ditto. Was traveling for a living, and didn't care at all about it for years, then I got worse and worse, and had to change careers. I think part of it was the increase in stress overall after 9/11 in travelling, but maybe another part of it is doing it enough times, having enough unpleasant experiences that it's added up to me just hating everything that can happen on a typical flight.
Also, dropping 10-20 feet and seeing/feeling the frame of the aircraft flexing about is just plain unsettling.
- WalterBright 10y ago> dropping 10-20 feet and seeing/feeling the frame of the aircraft flexing about is just plain unsettling. If it helps, Boeing tests the wings to failure by mounting them to a diabolical torture device that bends them. They have to be bent near vertical before failure. A little turbulence flapping the wings is about as dangerous as your car's suspension flexing over rough roads.
