LSU Fan that hates flying

You all know me as the guy that always gives himself too much credit and always pats himself on the back. But I also have a fear of flying.
I have to fly home today guys so please keep positive thoughts and send them my way if you will. I could use them. I hate airplanes and ULL.
(See, I couldn't be completely good)
Just remember, I am working offline and getting all the LSU baseball stats together while I wait for my flights.
I cannot wait for Thursday nights matchup!!!!!!!!

I hate flying as well. Good luck

Good luck! You'll be fine. My father use to lecture me everytime he got on a plane about what to do if he died. 
Don't worry he didn't die on a plane.

I like flying.
I can barely climb to the top of a ladder, but for some reason flying has never bothered me.

Flying is awesome.
You have a better chance of sexing the flight attendant and suffocating than dying because of flying

Flying used to be fun. Now it sucks because of TSA and airlines and all that crap. I hate it also.
But it used to be glorious, back when you could smoke and they'd hand out decks of cards and even serve you a meal. For free!
Yeah, I'm that old.

Airplane board.

You have nothing to worry about unless I'm the pilot. Then you need to worry. My shift starts in KC today.

They let sheep on planes?

Just think positively.
Remember most flights don't crash and in even those that do there are sometimes survivors.
Feel better now knowing that?

Hilarious. My mother does the same thing. Call this person, make sure you follow up on this and that. Same stuff, and she flies quite a bit.

They may board only if properly attired in the hottest of sleepware.

I hear singing the Circle of Life on the plane helps with jitters.

Thanks everyone.

Wait until you fly every 2 weeks out of the month. You'll hate flying and every aspect of it afterwards

If I was stuck on a plane with people smoking around me, I would freak.
Flying these days is very smooth. Just pop a dramamine and take a long nap.
Also, here's some smart stats to cheer you up. This study is from 2008, so it's even better now than when this was written.

Odds
The National Safety Council compiled an odds-of-dying table for 2008, which further illustrates the relative risks of flying and driving safety. It calculated the odds of dying in a motor vehicle accident to be 1 in 98 for a lifetime. For air and space transport (including air taxis and private flights), the odds were 1 in 7,178 for a lifetime, according to the table.

I recently got over my fear of flying. The thoughts still linger. You can do it buddy.

You should just buy your own jet. I'll fly it for you. Ell will be the copilot.
