I'm sorry but when I read this thread title I thought it was a call to send garage sale donations for a fundraiser for CATSA.

As for the thread topic itself: ick.

I'm biased, of course, as I have a real psychological problem with flying. So much so, that the last time I flew, about 25 years ago (gad, how time...passes) I promised myself never again.

I have so far kept that promise.

But even putting that aside, and trying my best to think like a normal person, I wonder how inconvienient/impersonal/gaulling/humiliating/stressfull flying can be made before everyone just starts taking the train, or booking a room on an ocean frieghter?

Or maybe better, get a pilot friend to fly you in one of those little planes.

I dunno. Flying on the big commercial jets just doesn't seem to me to be worth it from any perspective.
