Yes. I've flown my whole life. Throughout the 70s, 80s, 90s and saw its' decline over the years but especially in the 00s leading up to now.

My husband and I flew to Denver in 2016 and that was when my husband said he had it, he was not flying anymore. I flew a few times since then - the last time in 2019 was when I decided that's it for me. It just got unbearably worse over the years.

Now, as you mentioned with fuel costs, pilot shortages, cancellations, delays - it's turned into a hellish nightmare. Nope, I'm not ever steeping foot on a plane if I can help it. I'd rather take a bus, at least I'd have more legroom, can bring my own food and drink and wouldn't have to deal with gestapo flight attendants.

It's amazing, our once wealthy and free nation, has turned into a shithole. I remember as a kid wondering what sorts of technological advancements would be made in the future that would improve us and our lives. Sure, we have the internet but most people don't utilize it for the vast resource of knowledge it contains. Instead, they only have the attention span for a 3 minute tiktok video and can barely type outeletter acronyms, emojis and like buttons.

Technology has created a dumbed down, fat, lazy and entitled society. The golden age is gone and we are in a free fall towards our collapse.

It always happens. What goes up always comes down. Depends on how high up you are to how bad the fall will be. That is history with humans.
