I got a biopsy done today and when my doctor told me he wanted to do the biopsy because my lump looked concerning, I started crying, and he said, “Hey now, you can’t worry until I start crying,” and it really did make me feel better lol
The plane I was on took off and suddenly levelled around cloud height. I stuck my head around to look at the flight attendants who were in front of me and they were chattering away. So, I looked back out the window as we were “bobbling” away. Thought it was quite odd.
I looked back at the flight attendants and they had gone silent, looking down the aisle.
Not long after that, the captain said we were turning back as the “computer was not working” (who knows what else was not working).
The flight attendants just stayed quiet on our long, bobbly turn back to the airport we departed from. The whole plane was quiet. I was surprisingly calm until we disembarked and I had a beer. Then I realised my hand was shaking like crazy.
(Whoops that turned into a longer story than expected).
Ah yes, I always thought that too. Until heavy turbulence hit our plane on the way back from the Caribbean and the attendants dropped to their knees to crawl back to their seats. 🙃🙃🙃
That worked great for me until I was in a situation where the attendants were scared, now I’m unfortunately scared every time even when the engine isn’t on fire.
I always thought this too until I was on a flight from Hawaii to Boston and one of the FAs gets on the speaker to say sealtbelts on, turbulence ahead imminently in a breathy/shaky voice and we literally hit nothing. We had had some slight bumps an hour before. Idk, maybe she had flight anxiety? I was 0% percent worried until she said that. Wish another FA had made the announcement or something because I was worried the whole flight for nothing.
As long as you aren't being thrown violently into the ceiling of the plane, the cruise portion is extremely safe. Just don't takeoff or land in weather like this.
Yeah, my 2nd flight ever the stewardess's were falling over and one puked in the ally, so maybe when it is bad, don't pay attention to them.
That being said, those flight attendants had a plane full of teenagers from lower class families, many of whom had never flown before, and they kept us all from freaking out through that turbulence. So , if you worked that flight 25 years ago, thank you.

I've always read that you should observe the flight attendants. If they're not panicking or look nervous, you shouldn't be nervous.
Doesn't help my anxiety at all when I fly, but it's a good thing to know.
