Here some other reasons people don't want to fly:
- driving with idiots trying to get to the airport on time
- getting yelled at by "Traffic enforcement" if you take too long to unload your bags from your car or say bye to loved ones
- having to deal with a kiosk that doesn't work
- getting yelled at by the ticket agent because your bag is overweight and then having to rearrange your luggage in front of everyone
- being upcharged for every possible item
- standing in line half an hour for TSA
- getting pornoscanned / nuked and then getting your junk groped by TSA because after all you're probably a criminal (land of the free, right?)
- having to rush to the gate because TSA took 3 times longer than it should
- getting to the gate and being forced to listen to CNN penetrate your eardrums at full volume while waiting to board
- having to pay 2 or 3 times as much than you otherwise wood for food and drink in the terminal because you're not allowed to bring it through TSA
- having to sit through the gate agents rambling about such and such mileage points credit card detail offer
- having to line up everyone getting on the plane at once and stand around for another 30 minutes on the jetway because the gate agent wants to have everyone in line during the boarding process
- being told your carry on has to be stowed in the cargo bin
- being cramped in smaller seats than what federal prisoners are legally allowed to have
- being delayed and sitting on the tarmac due to poor ATC management of the national airspace
- being forced to listen to yet another credit card offer from a rambling FA
And this is all before the plane even takes off. I haven't even mentioned the other passengers, being charged expensive prices for food or drinks, having the lights turned on before landing to wake you up, having to wait another 20 minutes to get off the plane once parked and the APU is off, having to wait 20 minutes again in baggage claim for your luggage, etc.
Is it any wonder the general public just loves to fly so much?
