Karenciavo Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 I just snagged seats 16-20 on my Southwest flight tomorrow. (subdued, Presbyterian happy dance.) Could you say a prayer for me please, seriously. I really struggle since the early deaths of 3 of my family members in the past three years. Can I tell you how annoying it is for me not to trust God's will? Or to live in fear? Ugh, anyway, prayers and good thoughts appreciated.

laylamcb Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 :grouphug: (subdued Presby group hug for ya) I hear you, Karen. It's irrational, I know--we're in more danger driving to the market, yada yada yada. But I still crave a wee little Valium when I fly. And I've been crossing the country by plane since I was 6 months old! Sending up a little prayer for you today! :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracey in TX Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 DH used to fly professionally. He gave me stats, basic flying tips, etc. However, emotions and logic have nothing to do with each other. I say a prayer before the flight, ask for a hedge of protection around our aircraft, and entrust my life to the pilot. Then hope the flight attendant has the Bailey's ready and waiting :) Or splurge on a Diet Coke to pacify me. Once we're airborne, I'm fine. And logically speaking, I know we're more likely to arrive safely to our destination than any trip on I-35. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I lived in Texas, I always felt that if I *had* to fly, at least I could fly Southwest. Don't they have the best safety record of any airline, besides possibly Quantas?

Did you see that Quantas flight last week that had an oxygen tank (I think) in the luggage compartment blow a hole in the side of the plane? I think everyone was alright though.

*anj* Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Karen, I'm praying for you, that all will go well, that you'll be able to relax, that you'll remember what we talked about before, and that you'll have a great vacation. (Trying to have a subdued Presby hug/happy dance but Calvary Chapel is bursting out...sorry!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 More even than peace, I pray you have FUN. There are some goofy flight attendants on board with Southwest and I hope you get one that makes you laugh. Dh and I know lots of Southwest pilots and a few maintenance guys. All are class acts. Praying for smooth air, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One guy who was from Orlando gave us a hysterical "insiders tour" one year as we were preparing to land.:lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
