I am flying next month and terrified! A little history...I have flown before, about 6 times. I have never fled a plane, screamed, etc.... I have had panic attacks on take-off and mini-attacks while in the air, but eventually, I am able to get up, walk around, etc... I always have to have a window seat; not being able to see out makes me dizzy. There is my problem. I have had a problem with balance, vertigo, etc... for about 5 years now. I had a brain tumor 5 years ago... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (scared) http://fearofflying74562.yuku.com/topic/2177 Wed, 16 Dec 2009 10:14:33 GMT http://fearofflying74562.yuku.com/topic/2176/t/flying-next-week.html ... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (kittylovah) http://fearofflying74562.yuku.com/topic/2176 Tue, 15 Dec 2009 16:15:40 GMT http://fearofflying74562.yuku.com/topic/2175/t/last-minute-worry-questions-for-Capt-Tom.html
1) Turbulence NEVER means something is wrong with the plane, right?

2) Is there a back-up for the system that keeps the pitch of nose up?

3) Did they ever find out what happened to Air France that was flying to Brazil? I'll be flying over the ocean for a while

It seems Alitalia has a terrible reputation and its gotten me very worried, specifically all the comments on the shabby, poorly maintained planes... anyone flown Alitalia recently? Any truths to what everyone seems to be posting?

Any comments would be great!

Let me tell you about my flying adventures. I flew out of JFK on Nov.22nd at late night on Virgin Atlantic. I got to the airport on time, and was flying with my boss and her husband. They asked me to wait for them before security, and when we finally met they dragged me off to the VIP lounge for some champaign and pate. There they sat bewildered as i told them that we have to leave soon because i have to meet to captain. They found it fascinating, they were flying... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Regina) http://fearofflying74562.yuku.com/topic/2170 Thu, 03 Dec 2009 10:07:42 GMT http://fearofflying74562.yuku.com/topic/2169/t/thank-you-and-a-question.html feeds@yuku.com (workinprogress) http://fearofflying74562.yuku.com/topic/2169 Mon, 30 Nov 2009 18:50:59 GMT http://fearofflying74562.yuku.com/topic/2168/t/Hello--Guatemala-Need--bit--help-flying--Thanksgiving-day-.html
I'm writing from Guatemala, Central America. First, i'd like to excuse myself for such bad english i'll do my best!

I'd like to start by telling all of you, that this is not my first flight, far from it actually. I have been flying almost yearly since 1994 (when i was 7 years old!) I've visited the US, and various countries in Europe.

One thing I've noticed, in both other posts on this board and in your most recent newsletter sent out tonight -- you don't seem to be a big fan of Airbus and appear to be squarely in the "Team Boeing" camp. I've read a lot of criticism elsewhere of the Airbus way, condemning it for relying too heavily on automation and overly complex software, and for not being as hands-on... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (fraidyflyer) http://fearofflying74562.yuku.com/topic/2163 Tue, 17 Nov 2009 19:44:54 GMT http://fearofflying74562.yuku.com/topic/2162/t/Post-Flight-Report.html
In the hours and days leading up to the flights, the typical thoughts we fearful fliers nurture seeped in: will the plane crash? Is a terrorist going to shoot right at my head? What if the wings fall off? What if the engine... what if... what if.... Then something shifted in my mind, and I don't know what it was.... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (The Hux) http://fearofflying74562.yuku.com/topic/2162 Tue, 17 Nov 2009 13:02:42 GMT http://fearofflying74562.yuku.com/topic/2160/t/-Dip-and-Bump-.html
First let me say that I'm not concerned about the wings falling off. However, as I experienced last year on a flight from the U.S to London -- at a few points during moderate turbulence the airplane felt as though it were 'surfing' over 'waves in the sky'. What some people refer to as "dip and bump".

I know that the plane's... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (entertraveler) http://fearofflying74562.yuku.com/topic/2160 Sat, 14 Nov 2009 15:44:27 GMT http://fearofflying74562.yuku.com/topic/2159/t/How-to-Prepare.html feeds@yuku.com (Regina) http://fearofflying74562.yuku.com/topic/2159 Sat, 14 Nov 2009 07:18:52 GMT http://fearofflying74562.yuku.com/topic/2158/t/Need-help--suggestions----occupied--15-hour-non-stop-flight-.html

My fear only began a couple of years ago. I'm a rational, scientific person (I actually work in the science field) and I've always felt ashamed of what I think is a silly fear. Accidents do happen, but they are so rare and compared with my average daily activities (i.e. driving in NYC), it should be the least of my worries.

I'm flying to London on Saturday and I'm really freaking out already.
