Me either!
Planes are dropping like flies.
And it's scaring me to death, because John flies out to San Diego Monday, for a business trip... never mind that I hate being alone already, and usually can't sleep if I'm alone, but he's going to FLY, and all they've done lately is crash and do other stupid things like blow out their tires on landing, drive off the ends of runways, and etc.
Fortunately he isn't flying on the airline that's striking, but none-the-less, I am going to be a nervous wreck on Monday until he's back on the ground, and again on Thursday when he comes home.
And I know, I know, more planes don't crash than do, but note the news never points all the ones out for you that got safely to their destination. And on top of all this, I'm taking him to the airport Monday, and on the dry run we had, it took me three tries to find my way in after all the changes since 9/11.
So these airplanes better behave till he's back home. (sigh). And I'm still trying to figure out how the ones in Greece FROZE in the fuselage... has anything definite been determined about that yet? That one was bizarre. They said it was either the decompression or a faulty A/C... can a faulty A/C really freeze people? Weird!
And that's my little bit of comfort too, that most of the crashes have all be foreign planes and not U.S. ones... so far anyway.
And yes, I know I sound paranoid.... sorry, but even though I love planes in one respect, (awesome to look at, neat to study, military planes are fascinating), I don't like flying, never will, never did, and would rather me and mine stay safely on the ground.

P.S. And yes, I know cars have more accidents than planes... the difference for me is they have those accidents a lot closer to the ground, with higher chance for survival.
