Why anyone thinks this way is beyond me. I didn’t get into being an airline pilot Because I hate getting on planes. Air travel is not glamorous, but flying to Barcelona for $100 or taking a little weekend trip to st Croix is completely worth it. If I hated travel and wanted to be home nightly I woulda been a lawyer. My first trip to Spain cost me $53 on delta and got first class both ways. Stay at home and spend $53 at outback is fine. But not for everyone .
