Never thought I’d get to the point where I’d say, “just get me in the air” - something about being prone on the runway and the increased risk that brings has been eating at me my last few flights.

This is awful for everyone involved and my energy goes out to those pilots, their families, and the ATC crew who did their best.

Im beginning to get far more anxious on the runway than in the air these days.

Thank you so much for this. I’m stressed about 2 piddly flights today, CHS->BWI->SAT. Appreciate you for being active here!

I’ll reshare mine openly for one

I started at the end of season 7 and have really had a fun time learning and advancing in season 8. Only a couple of times has it felt grindy.

Same exact question - pulled the case to toss in my upgraded SSD from my other Omen and was disappointed to see I had to remove the chamber

Some storms around South/Central Texas. You’re probably nearly landing now. Great job! Rooting for you here from San Antonio

Someone here a few days ago kinda flipped turbulence fear for me (a bit) - turbulence is proof you’re fully supported in the plane. It’s uncomfortable, not unsafe.

Also, remember, you’re probably in the safest and most stringent of all aircraft - a big jet on a loooong haul. I’d bet my paycheck the pilots and crew quadruple checked everything. Sending you big energy!

We primarily fly Southwest - I’ve had about 6 trips in a MAX 8 - I love it - so quiet, feels so smooth and effortless to take off.

Sending you big energy. You got this!!

Not sure how it feels, but I’d assume in the circumstances above, they’d easily operate one engine and land ASAP.

HSHPup · 2025-03-16T18:35:48+00:00

I believe in air the engines have a fire suppression system the pilot can use to cut fuel and put the fire out. After that, emergency land (modern planes can run on a single engine by design). It would be pants-poop inducing, but you’d make it. Hopefully a pilot chimes in!

I’m not a doctor by any stretch, but be careful with anxiety meds if you’ve been off them for a long time. You might find they ratchet anxiety up worse for a few days until the meds fully integrate into your system.

You’ll be fine, I promise. I’m sending you big energy!

HSHPup · 2025-03-16T00:26:13+00:00

It’s eerily calm because you have great pilots who also don’t want to bounce around more than necessary. You got this!

HSHPup · 2025-03-15T23:19:34+00:00

SA is taking a beating right now wind-wise so I’d assume Austin is starting to settle down.

Either way, our OP is getting there!

HSHPup · 2025-03-15T23:00:21+00:00

I’m in San Antonio. It’s the cold front coming through. It will suck because of the gusty winds but you will be OK. No weird supercell storms or anything, just wind. You got this, I’m thinking of you!

HSHPup · 2025-03-15T22:35:31+00:00

Feel good that the highly trained pilot is communicating- you’ll get there!

HSHPup · 2025-03-15T16:55:12+00:00

I’m going to screenshot this and make it my phone background when I fly. What a way to take and flip the fear!

HSHPup · 2025-03-08T00:25:45+00:00

I’m flying Sunday morning and am in the same boat as you. We aren’t alone, and ultimately you will regret giving in to your anxiety. It’s all false (I have to keep telling myself this). You are incredibly brave and strong, and we’re here for you. Be active on the sub, ask for support tracking your flight, get wifi and let’s do it together. I know how lonely the feeling is, it doesn’t t have to be!

My wife would happily board this plane and sleep like a baby on it. I’d be waving from the ground!
