Boeing please stop picking Gremlins as the in flight movie
Shows ‘Twilight zone: the movie’ instead.
Or the original Shatner episode.
“There’s something… on the wing!”

the last time I was on an airplane was december 31, 2000.
nothing since that time has encouraged me to break that boycott.
Flying sucks, but not seeing the world sucks more.
I was about to say. There’s a million concerns over environmental and economic effects (that I’ll own up to ignoring when visiting family or exploring), but safety is still wayyy down the list. The statistic about being 20x more likely to die in a car crash on the way to the airport than the flight itself still holds very firmly true (and I’m being SUPER conservative about those numbers in case recent events tilt it, it’s still a ~800x per-mile ratio).
Yeah I agree, despite all the recent events, I’m still not worried at all about flying. The number of car crash complications I watch on YouTube make me extra cautious while driving, but I’ve never felt in danger while flying, even in heavy turbulence

I respect the principles.
Damn, imagine working in the marketing department of Boeing.

“Sitting right on the wing and the noise after reaching altitude was much louder than normal. I opened the window to see the wing looking like this,” user octopus_hug wrote. "How panicked should I be? Do I need to tell a flight crew member?
Holy shit, redditors are a special breed. Yes, you should probably tell someone.
I should go and find the comment.
