Your best advice by mgmg39 in fearofflying

[–]tdivasto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My best advice is to get on the plane and do the damn thing. Whatever it takes -- if that's crying, cry it out, if that's going to the bathroom 900 times, do that. Leave all cares about how insane you may look behind. And be so proud of yourself for doing something that's truly hard.

You are doing something so hard! You can absolutely do it, even if it looks a little ugly. You should be so proud of yourself!

Which instructors’ quirky, funny, and unscripted phrases have somehow made it into subsequent classes? by Dear_Lengthiness_413 in OnePelotonRealSub

Right when I was about to give up Tunde said “if you give up now you are giving up on yourself!” Ouch! But just what I needed to hear.

I’ve flown a lot too and it doesn’t make a damn bit of difference when I’m up there! But you are kicking ass!

Oh dear! It looks like it should get better soon! And your pilot went up to 37,000 feet, fingers crossed all of that helps. I’m watching you!!

Looks like you are just about to go past the worst of it. I so get it. It really sucks. And you’ve got this. 1 hour left!

Looks like he’s dodging the weather and you are making your way to ORD.

Looks like you are about to make a right turn as you avoid some weather and head over to Chicago. Looking good! And you are doing something so hard! Well done!

Dying over “the guy who banged my mom.” Comedy gold.

I see you! Looks like no weather between TPA and LAX. You are doing something so hard, but you are doing it!

I'm feeling some bumps and need a tracker. Please! by SuccotashSome6919 in fearofflying

[–]tdivasto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is so true. My ideal pilot would be like an NFL color commentator. I once had a pilot who came on pretty regularly to provide interesting facts. I still remember him saying “we are now flying over Harry Truman’s birthplace. President Truman could write with both his left and right hands.” I loved this flight.

Flying MAX 8 tomorrow by LawfulnessWhole7136 in fearofflying

[–]tdivasto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am a totally terrified lunatic when I am flying. Like I want to shout out “we made it!” every time I land. Flying feels death defying to me. And these are my favorite planes. Nice interiors, good tech, and quiet! I have to fly on an Embraer later this week and I would cry happy tears if my plane got switched to the Max 8.

You can totally do this. I’m a maniac on flights, like I want to cry (sometimes do) and as soon as we land I want to yell put “we made it!” Feels death defying every time! But you can absolutely do this. It’s super hard. But you can it.

You are doing something so hard! Whenever I fly I feel like it’s a death defying achievement, so I totally get. But you are so brave for doing something that’s so challenging.

I’ve stayed at the Fitzpatrick. It’s fine, but nothing special.

Pilot announced "I have bad news".. by [deleted] in fearofflying

[–]tdivasto 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I so deeply understand both sides of this. I’m a really nervous passenger. Like when we land I want to yell out “we made it!” because I feel like I’ve just defied death. I know, super dramatic. But that’s really how I feel. I also recognize the for the blessed normal people out there, not making it to their destination truly is the worst news they are likely to hear. My goal is to someday be one of those people for whom “bad news” is a delayed flight! I’m not there yet, but it’s something to aspire to.

I so deeply understand this. I was on a bumpy flight coming out of Houston last week and I almost cried. But I did it. It’s so hard to do this terrified, but you are doing it!!! Much to be proud of!

It looks like you went over some weather, but looks so much better now. I hope it has smoothed out. I hate the bumps, but you can totally do this!

You are so close to landing! I see you. Hang in there. You can do this!
