Or there's some other, unrelated reason - might be worth exploring.
I had a huge fear of flying but turns out it was "just" kidney stones - I was afraid of experiencing discomfort during takeoff and landing, but didn't realise it. Once they passed, the discomfort, and thus fear that was caused by it, vanished.
As for Boeing: I'm sure the media is now full of stories that would not be news if not for the recent events. All to woo you into clicking that link.
Personally I have trust in the institutions which make flying the safest form of travel - especially seeing how they already grounded a number of planes due to the incident(s?) recently.
- jgwil2 3y agoDo you mind if I ask how it is that you had kidney stones so long without realizing it that you mistook it for a fear of flying? I was under the impression that was a rather acute problem...
- Tade0 3y agoThat's when they start moving. But it takes years to get there, during which there's just gradually increasing discomfort. It's not localized so I didn't know what was going on until they passed and the improvement manifested itself.
