I was waiting for that plane to pick me up in San Francisco to take me back to Fairbanks. One of my friends here at my current school is related to a family that died in the crash. He still has anxiety with flying Alaska Airlines and unfortunately that is the only airline that serves our college town, and the major carrier for most of Alaska (hence being ALASKA Airlines).
I have had the worst flight of my life on a commuter prop plane from Seattle to Portland. I am the girl who eats junkfood and goes on the rides at the amusement park and doesn't puke. I had to sit down on the tarmac in the rain and put my head between my legs because I felt that nauseated. As far as turbulence goes staying buckled up is a smart idea, and if the flight attendants have to take their seats then you anxiety may be warranted. The pilots are well trained, and have great equipment.
Oh and why is it that I got plastic flatware in the airport T.G.I. Friday's, but Alaska Airlines gives out REAL METAL silverware in first class? Seems a little ridiculous.
