All of these airplane malfunction stories coming out in recent weeks are exactly the thing I wanted to see leading up to my flight tomorrow for the first real vacation I've had since before COVID. Thanks Universe.
Hey, it'll be ok. Let me show you a reassuring article. https://simpleflying.com/2023-aviation-safety/
It was actually a pretty safe year for aviation. Yeah, there have been problems, but you're more likely to be inconvenienced than anything. Hope you have an excellent vacation!
You can watch mentor pilot on YouTube - the safety process and investigations will make you feel much better :)
Just remember that the drive to the airport is more risky than the flight.
Like my dad would always say loudly while waiting in line for rollercoasters, "It's crazy to think about how these things are built by the lowest-bidder, isn't it?"
Listen to some Alanis Morissette to calm your nerves.
You're not nice
Isn’t it ironic?
Don't worry if it's an Airbus (highly possible) or maybe a smaller jet like Bombardier, you have nothing to worry about.
Otherwise if it's a Boeing, gg no re lol
Yeah, heading to Ireland in February. Bit nervous for this go.
