I used to fly all the time and enjoyed it. After 9/11 I flew about 5 times after that up to about 2004. I have not since and will not again for various reasons. I left a job that wanted me to travel to their India office.
I now carry everywhere I go, I don’t want to be molested by TSA, I don’t like the flying public compared to years ago, and I don’t think the new aged pilots as a whole are as good as the Vietnam era pilots who could actually fly the plane that have retired (not to mention all the foreign ones).
Good for you!
I, too, carry wherever I go and one cannot carry on our beloved public transportation, so I say, screw ‘em, I’ll go by my private vehicle.
