Comments on Fear of Flying

Fucking awesome.

Pilots are always so hot. And they almost always have gray hair before they hit 40. Must be all of the stress. The whole God thing is a little unattractive, though.

The pilot AND the copilot went crazy? Or is that a typo?

This is Dan doing his part for the environment by scaring the crap out of everyone so that they never board a fuel-guzzling aircraft again.

He was in the air? Can't get much closer than that, just go ahead and talk buddy... go ahead and talk.

Sounds like me after a tad too much Jagermeister. At least I have thd good sense to just go home and crash.

"One of the passengers, Sean Finucane"

Wow thats weird! I wonder if its the same Finucane whose father Pat was a solicitor in Belfast who was murdered by the UDA Protestant murder gang.

As a fearful flyer-- This post reinforces my fear. (Thanks Dan)--Ignorance is bliss.

I will continue to take 30 hour long train rides to visit family in Florida and 7-10 hour car drives to play gay hockey in Canada.

Maybe you should consider a post or Savage Love Special on Fear. I'd like to know that I am not the lone Savage freak who is scared shitless of flying.

"You want to talk to God? Let's go see him together. I've got nothin' better to do..."

</fanboy>

Wait, now there's a BLACK AIRLINE?!

...Was Snoop the pilot, and Monique the saucey TSA official placed for maximum comedic potential?

Maybe a sliver of all that has to do with pilots' admissions that flying the big birds nowadays has lost all its glamor.

@6: There are many Finucanes. Not all of us work for the IRA.

He probably listened to the State of the Union speech.

@11 pat did not work for the IRA you tool. the majority of his clients were everyday and non violent nationalists. the reason i asked was because his son was named SEAN. Next!

Is this Canadian in the "I was born in Halifax and like hockey and drink Labatts" sense, or Canadian in the "A Racist Euphemism for African-American people" sense of the word?

But, Dan -- are you SURE he wasn't a Muslim? I thought we only had to worry about Muslims. Christianity is a religion of peace.

This is why I use high-speed passenger trains when I can.

@14 - you missed the SLOG thread yesterday huh? All Canadians are apparently black lesbians ...

this is so lame if you REALLY want to be afraid of flying go to alaska...its like the ultimate roller coaster ride with the option of death...which makes it awesome. fly into cordova in a turboprop in a gale or in a cessna out to the villages with a pilot who not only talks to god but you think might be drinking to keep the voices out...

we'd better get on that northern border security issue - those canadians could hurt us!
