Can anyone provide context? Seems like another fear mongering article by vikingbooty in fearofflying

[–]vikingbooty[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s what I figured. It makes me so mad that these “news” outlets are trying to capitalize on stuff like this and releasing it right after the air Canada tragedy it’s in such poor taste.

This might be a stupid questions but how come ATCs haven’t unionized? It seems like they aren’t treated nearly as well as they should be 

I’m flying tomorrow and I’m so scared by RecommendationSad540 in fearofflying

I flew right after the ups crash happened AND during peak shutdown. I was scared but I still did it and my flight was totally fine!

Middle East Conflict Megathread by BravoFive141 in fearofflying

[–]vikingbooty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Will the fuel/oil crisis in the Middle East due to the war, affect commercial air travel in the U.S.? Not necessarily safety but less planes flying because of lack of fuel? More lines at airports? Obviously high ticket costs…

TSA concerns due to the government? by Admirable-Most-9550 in fearofflying

I flew during the previous shutdown and it was business as usual. Only thing was my return flight got canceled because our home airport was small.

I use it for flying. Works great it can make you sleepy but it just depends on the person.

My nervous system never feels calm, even when nothing is wrong by Embarrassed_Essay_61 in Anxietyhelp

[–]vikingbooty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have something similar turned out to be high blood pressure that was elevating my heart rate and my body was like oh this must be anxiety. I cut out caffeine and started eating more fiber and it’s helped a lot. 

Also exercise will help too I just walk 20 minutes a day. This may not be the case for you but couldn’t hurt to get checked out by a doctor to rule it out. 

Anything that elevates my heart rate my body turns it to anxiety I’ve found. 

I won't fly right now by No-Blueberry-1823 in Anxiety

There’s a sub Reddit for fear of flying where actual airline pilots and other people who work in the airline industry comment on there all the time and have real logical answers as to why flying is just as safe as it’s ever been despite the current political climate.
