I like planes, love flying, and watch almost any TV aviation show or movie. Especially shows analyzing military aerial combat. Not because I love war. Rather, it's the only way to see planes exhibit their full capacities. Air shows are great but even they don't air dance the way combat forces a plane to do so. But I avoid flying now. Mainly because at O'Hara, Atlanta, Dallas-Fort Worth, and McCarran, and Charlotte/Douglas airports I witnessed pilots drinking cocktails at the airport bars, then boarding the planes to fly them. In two cases, a passenger alerted cops via cellphone (as opposed to the TSA) and the pilot was breath tested and removed from the plane. Thus I decided if a so-called professional who has the lives of several hundred people in his hands disrespects their safety, they were best avoided. In today's world, such disregard for common sense and professionalism is all too common on every level of society. So sadly now, I avoid flying. It's so bad that even right now Boeing ignored and lied about the fact their newest airliner was a safety hazard to crew and passengers.
