For some reason I am always scared shitless of commercial flying. During my last flight the take off was aborted just as the aircraft was leaving the ground. The passengers were disembarked and the the engines were then dinkered with. Something to do with reverse thrusters. As far as I was concerned they could take weeks fixing any potential problems. I would be perfectly happy -g- Recent events have me feeling just normal. There is no doubt in my mind that safety is being compromised because of dumb actions wrt flying and recent crisis. I like to see persons using imagination and ability rather then dumb CYA problem fixing attitude. That does worry me <ng>
