    Let the flight attendants know. They will help you through it .
     
  2. Thanks for all the help guys, I am currently employed but was looking for a higher paying position..

    Anyway, I made it through 3 flights, nailed the interview, and they sent me an offer while I was on my return flight. Good couple of days.

    While I was incredibly uncomfortable, nervous, and tense on the plane, I managed to just nut up and go through with it.

    Thanks for all the advice, but I think the Ativan helped the most. :)

    The funny part for me is I use to love to fly when I was younger. I was coming back from FLA 1 time and the plane almost landed /crashed on an expressway . Very misty rainy as we were landing. My Uncle was in a different part if the plane and said he saw people on the ground running away before the plane started climbing back up into the sky where it belonged.

    If I die is a fiery screaming accident I sure as shit hope that it's via a plane crash. Won't do me any good but I told Sam to be on the phone and suing within hours of my being spread thin like nutella over 4 states.

    You should just let me step on your balls with stilettos.

    I would like to not be anymore nervous than I already am.

    I used to be a meeting planner with a large pharmaceutical company and flew all over the country on a frequent basis and never had any problems. I then flew with hubby when he was running an AMA team. I had two bad (really bad) flights and since then I'm the same way, I'm just terrified of flying. I've read the stats and talked to knowledgeable people on how it all works but when it comes down to it, my body just doesn't care about all that. I'm the white knuckled lady on every flight. I do take Xanax but even that doesn't really help (that's how bad it is). I can say that over the past year it's gotten better, although the flights I've been on seem to have been much calmer without a lot of turbulence...I have a lot of family on the west coast - two sisters in LA; mom and oldest daughter in Oregon, and my youngest daughter just moved to Washington state. So yeah, I have no choice but to just suck it up and fly which I still do on a frequent basis.

    Stuck in traffic on the way to the airport right now. Conning one of the old men to liquor me up with nothing in return but a smile :)
