Yes I am terrified about flying right now. No, I do not wish to just attribute this to a "random cluster" until someone can say positively that the corporate owned airlines and Emperor Trump's FAA are not contributing to this in any way.

Well, did you know the real trick for a real sleep?

The body needs to be perfectly flat. I think I read some science article a few years that "proved" this

When I'm on those 15 hr flights, I take the ouch in #economyclass because I believe spending the big bucks for #businessclass is not 100% flat. Well, that's my reasoning

In #Japan they will have flat seat overnight busses‼️
