>Why are you so afraid to fly anon?
>You're just going to be in an air-tight cabin seated for several hours 40,000 ft in the air going at 600 mph in a machine being controlled by someone you don't know
How am I supposed to get over this fear?

That is a cool tailfin logo. Did poland crashed all their cool soviet kino airliners so now they have to buy boeing "actually it was a brown gay female's fault we made a single point of failure plane and told everyone it's the same thing but if they correctly diagnose a problem they were told doesn't exist in under 10 seconds they might not die as long as the failure happens during a relatively forgiving phase of the flight" products if they wanna crash?

You just learn to accept statistics and live your life by logic and real odds.

Have you flown before, or is this anxiety over doing it in the first place?
One thing that might blow the anxiety away is grabbing a window seat and taking in how amazing it is to see the world from the air. The magic of it still hasn't gone away for me a dozen flights later. I bring small binoculars with me to better enjoy it.
Then again, that may just make things worse if it doesn't manage to completely drown out the anxiety? I don't really have an anxiety disorder, so maybe I'm a bad point of comparison.

it's like being on the bus but statistically less likely to crash or involve you getting stabbed over 3$flying is still annoying though, if there isnt an ocean in the way, i'd still take the train just for comfort reasons

Last time i was on a plane was the first time in over 15 years and i admit when the pilot yanked the controls and the plane felt like its was going vertical on take off it did pucker up the ol butthole a bitThought it was a smoother thing but it felt like he thought "fuck it" and just maxxed the controls out kek

I know it's a meme to say this but there are so many checks and balances on a commercial flight that it's practically impossible for something to go wrong, vs some drunk who gets in his unmaintained shitbox and crashes into someone killing or maiming them as what happens multiple times a day in every country

First of all there are NO parachutes on board! I don't know who needs to hear this but you have to understand you are fucked if the plane gets in trouble. Also these things have ZERO fucking defenses against AA and SAMs and shit. If they get you in missile lock your fucking toast.

just last night i had a dream that i was descending in an airplane. the pilot was banking a turn to line up for the landing strip and then i heard someone say "aww fuck" and suddenly the plane began to stall and we began spinning in a freefall. i could see the ground getting closer and closer, and i was like well, i guess this is it. and then i woke up. it felt real though. i simply accepted death knowing that there was no escape. better to be quiet about it than scream like a maniac in my last moments, like most people do

Have something worth doing that's far away which isn't locally available, also has to be relevant to your interests or your job.

>air-tight cabin
Wrong, it's just pressurized from inside with normal air.

You dont. Its fucking bonkers that the general public is encouraged to fly.
