Nervous about flying
I am a very nervous flyer. During a trip from California to Indiana, it
didn’t help that my connecting flight from Denver was delayed twice because of mechanical problems. Then, after we were aloft, I noticed the lights began flickering.
I mentioned this to a flight attendant. “I’ll take care of it,” she said.
Moments later the lights went out. Clearly she had solved the problem by
turning off all the lights.
A passenger across the aisle who had been watching me leaned over and said, “Whatever you do, please don’t ask about the engines.”
