Im sorry you lack the mental capacity to see life from a different perspective than your own. I guess you let your husband do the driving when you travel. Some of us genuinely enjoy long road trips as opposed to the mental and physical torture that air travel has become since the pandemic.

Like I alluded to earleir, if they can revive the quality of air travel and reestablish trust in the air transportation system in this county, I’ll absolutely resume flying. Yr as it stands today, unless I’m having to cross an ocean, I’m driving. But, again as I said earlier, my situation is different than others. My company gives me a vehicle allowance, fuel card, and I get paid mileage. When you do the math, it makes absolute sense for me to drive whenever possible.

But, like I said, you do you.

You enjoy driving 18 hours instead of a 3 hour plane ride?

You do you man. But statistically you are still much safer flying than you are driving.

That's great you have that option. My question for you is, how do you and your company justify 4 full travel days for this conference in Colorado? As a business owner, I don't see how I could do that.
