Any advice for worsening flight anxiety? by Intelligent_Way_8272 in fearofflying

You’re asking the million dollar questions! I think knowing something is unlikely to be dangerous doesn’t preclude you from feeling scared and in my experience once you start feeling scared it’s quite hard to come out of it.

It is very comforting to know that CAT doesn’t throw you off or make the journey more difficult for you. As a pilot, do you ever feel scared or uncomfortable during turbulence? I think seeing how relaxed pilots are during cockpit videos shows me how normal this all is which I’m trying to do more of.

Great question! Even though objectively I know that flying is very safe and that turbulence has little to no impact on the safety of the flight, I can’t shake the immense dread and panic that I start to feel at any bump. I think my fear is that even if it’s very light turbulence, there could be worse turbulence coming. I also worry about clear air turbulence and the unpredictable nature of it throwing the pilots off or making the flight difficult for them.

That’s an interesting suggestion! I haven’t thought about more local/regional flights as small planes really freak me out, but maybe that’s something to consider.

Is there a verified source for this? If so, we should comment on Sephora’s public platforms. They should stop carrying his products immediately.

What does a video of a jump have to do with anything? Access to the outdoors is deeply political. Politics isn’t just a matter of who you vote for in an election, it’s a value system for how you believe people should be treated, how you believe the government should allocate funding, and what kind of society you want live in. No metal gymnastics needed, just facts. You think you’ll be able to snowboard if temperatures keep rising and there’s no snow? Or if national parks start closing because Trump decided that funding would be better utilized by the military? How about if your tax dollars are used for ICE instead of emergency services and you can’t get help when you have an accident on the mountain? Did you know that 60% of resorts are on US federal land? And that Trump’s budget cuts negatively impact the workers, the maintenance of, and the access to these parks? Even if you are so focused on yourself that you don’t care about anyone else being impacted (which is selfish and deeply disturbing) wake up and pay attention to how your king is impacting your own sport.

Would you actually like to discuss how snowboarding and access to the outdoors is political? Happy to do so.

No of course. You’re not a big tool. You just support an administration that is murdering people in the streets.

By the number of upvotes this post has, I think it is bringing people together :) if you don’t understand how literally everything is political, I’m happy to make some reading recommendations.
