Windowless airplanes are the future?

You with SWA? As an aside,no windows is not new. Took many a hop from CONUS to SE Asia on C-5 galaxy's a number of years back. The seating was up a flight of narrow stairs, you sat backwards, with no windows. Before taxiing, there always seemed to be fog coming out of the ventilation system, for a rather surreal experience. Definitely not like taking a hop on a C-130 with small windows and nylon strap seats! Fun, back then!!

Yes. Missing the game today thanks to them..but I love my job.

No way can I nap on a plane. I read and even drink but that doesn't calm my nerves maybe I should try hypnosis. lol I do seem to relax a little during an inflight movie provided they don't show the movie airport. Not only do you have to worry about mechanical issues on planes you have to worry about terrorists/hijackers. I was on a plane last year and overheard a passenger ask a flight attendant "how often does a plane of this type crash?" She said "once." My friend flies his Lear but I won't fly with him.

Go to the doc and get some Xanax before a flight... they'll give it to you.

I would never take a drug to deal with anxiety. As often as I fly it could lead to an addiction.

I thought I'd hate it, but I watched the video, and now I want to see more.

I hear ya.

Not everyone who doesn't like to fly fears the actual flying. If you're claustrophobic, that'll do it too. Germaphobes can have an issue with it as well.

I was involved in a crash landing from Boston to NY 15 years ago. The front landing gear wouldn't go down so we had to come in on the nose of the plane. They had us assume the crash position with our heads tucked between our knees. The first thought I had was if we hit the ground at 300 miles an hour I don't want to be found like that.
