Anddddd...back in the air a few days later.

Flying commercial never bothered me until I started flying up front in helicopters in the Air Cavalry. Once you understand how things are in the cockpit, sitting in the back of a plane is like sitting in the back of a car with a driver you don't quite trust. You're not the one in control or even in a position to take control. You have no idea WTF is going on, and that lack of control or knowledge is bothersome. Now when the plane is going through turbulence, I sit back there with white knuckles wondering what the hell is going on up front.
