Some guys would have seasons of air sickness. For months they would be fine, then for a week or two they were sticking a bag or two in their flight suit. So no one can guarantee that it will never happen again. My point is, career aviators are not bullet proof supermen. Their love and passion for what they do outweighs any discomforts. (If you repeat that thing about supermen, I'll disavow all knowledge and call you a loon).
