I usually fly American, but have a Southwest flight to Orlando coming up because they're the only airline with a direct flight. I'm not feeling great about it.

How do you deal with the pre-flight anxiety? I’m worried that the anxiety is going to be so bad that I’m going to lose my fricking mind inside the terminal while waiting to board. Flight anxiety is the worst.

Why? Up until the incident a few years back with the window shattering from an engine blade, wasn't SW the only US airline not to have a crash or fatality

And American had an issue just a few weeks back on a flight into LAX.

I fly every other week on United or SW... Will be on SW this week and no hesitations in stepping on the plane.

I was on Southwest flight SWA 4273 to Orlando last week, when we hit severe turbulence which caused an emergency landing in Tampa. Two people were injured, a flight attendant and passenger. Flight Attendant broke her hip. The plane dropped +700 ft while traveling 566 mi/hr. The flight made national news. I was following on FlightAware at the time, crazy shite to say the least.
