I received a postcard that was evidently from a pilot who shared this rather mischievous admission: "When passengers ignore the 'stay in your seats' sign, I create my own turbulence".
"I saw the bullets on the CAT scan I had after I hit my head on the ceiling when my jet hit turbulence coming over from Los Angeles on Monday and I didn't have my seat belt on," he said.
I leaned over and confided, "You know, as a New Yorker, I spend my entire time in LA waiting for turbulence in my hotel room!" She got my little earthquake joke and gave me a bigger smile.
Flight Mishaps Aside from the limited legroom (Spirit packs more seats on each plane than its competitors), aggressive on-board sales, including ads inside the plane, and some nail-biting turbulence, my flight was fine.
My prediction: The turbulence of political change will drive the yen to 160 to the dollar and the yield on ten-year Japanese government bonds to 4% by the end of 1999.
"Despite the thousands of miles I've [Ashley] spent flying these past couple of years, I can't shake my fear of turbulence!
Over time, I learned that even though I couldn't control the physical auto-response of my body to turbulence, I could re-focus, keep reading and breathe through turbulence without dwelling on or buying into fear.
The plane hit turbulence, and my iPhone popped out of my pocket and disappeared deep into my seat.
Also, my apologies for the turbulence we're going through.
