A-freakin'-men! Take a chill-pill :)

Oh and I'm surprised there hasn't been some crusty fart on here calling all y'all "backseat Captains" LoL ;)

Why are you worried about the cold? Just sit there and not worry about it, you get better in a few days anyway.

See how ridiculous you sound?

A briefing for nervous passengers and anxious jumpseaters: "If it's your time to go, it's your time to go. Doesn't matter if your in the back of the plane, in the van going to the hotel, or just sitting at home watching television. The only exception to that rule is: If it's my time to go, it's your time to go too." :D

When I go I want to die peacefully in my sleep like my uncle. Not screaming like his passengers.

I love flying in the back - best naps ever!

Seriously though, I have captain anxiety - every time the captain is flying I wonder if this is the one who's gonna kill me! :D

Driving is WAAAYYYYY MORE DANGEROUS than flying.
Exactly. Can not let unrationalized fear get in the way of logic.

You are safer in that plane than just about anywhere outside of your mommy's belly.

Best brief by a CA while I was jumpseating.....If you see something wrong, sit down, shut up....and die like a man :)
