I don't want to get stuck up in the air with a full on crazy person, setting off a bunch or other full on crazy folk.
And the airlines are all about money. To the point that it is standard practice for them to over book, then expect you to miss your flight and travel at their convenience, not yours. And you pay to be treated like chattel.
Every single thing you wrote, I agree with absolutely and completely. I haven't boarded a commercial jetliner since, I want to say, 2008 or 2009, and I don't plan on ever going on one of those high altitude fart-tubes again.
No sugar coating in this post:
First of all, as said in Night's post I've above quoted, even before the mask crap people were unbearable on the jets. Who remembers seat kickers? Being stuck next to the nose-picking guy with smoker's cough? And that's just fine and dandy but you are dealing with that utter misery only after being herded like cattle through a filthy, noisy airport.
I have no problems with long drives. I've experienced many fun and fascinating places because I drive/ride in cars instead of paying for a dirty, miserable couple of hours in a flying septic tank full of maniacs who could snap at any time.
