Who said anything about a fear of flying? Though it is the most miserable and
unpleasent way to travel long distance this side of a NEx bus.


Some of us happen to disagree. I personally quite enjoy it.

Me too, but then, unlike Boltar, I'm not afraid of flying. I've also
noticed that most people with that fear dress it up in other ways, just as
he does. Then, if they go on a fear of flying course, they suddenly change,
and are quite happy to fly, forgetting all their previous reasons for not
doing so.

People I've met with this fear sometimes developed it after a bad flight,
while others are just afraid of not being in control when the plane
manoeuvres in the sky. When they do fly, they avoid window seats (I love
them) and some also have a fear of heights.
