Oh well...the world would be way too boring if we were all kind!

Sheesh, Susan -- they were *jokes*. Wise cracks. Not to be taken
seriously. You know, "ha, ha" kind of stuff?

My sincere suggestion: Try to develop a sense of humor -- it'll make flying
(and life) a lot more fun.

Barring that, you may as well take a Valium and sleep through your upcoming
flight. It'll all be over very quickly, and you'll wake up refreshed.

Here here. Depending on the time of the flight, sleep can be one of
the best things to do even if you're not afraid of flying - if the
flight is a night flight, it can really help in preventing jet lag.

Susan, Jay's tip might help you. If nothing else, the crying baby two
rows aft will seem a bit less annoying... Why not ask your doctor
about it? Couldn't hurt to have something if you feel you need it for
sleep.

You are talking to a woman here who is terrified and wants reassurance to help
her make ONE commercial flight. Sick aviation jokes are not remotely excusable.

To a pilot, altitude is like money - it is possible that having too much
could prove embarassing, but having too little is always fatal.

Wait a minute, George. A person with an irrational fear of flying comes to
a piloting newsgroup looking for reassurance that flying is okay. She gets
advice, and then she also receives some good-humored posts with jokes about
flying, along with several examples of irrational things to fear.

This is inexcusable?

Let me give you an example from my own life: I have an irrational fear of
heights. Hiking into the Grand Canyon last year just about killed me.
There were times when I thought I was going to die, while my kids were
happily skipping along the trail, wondering what was wrong with Dad?

Did I take my stupid fears to a ROCK CLIMBING newsgroup for advice? Get
real.

What's inexcusable is that she didn't take her problem to
"alt.society.mental-health" before coming here.
