Be a frequent flyer

“I fly so often I’ve become numb to the entire experience. Every airport is the same. Every take off and landing. Every bathroom every gate. There are a very few times I remember anything happening. Example: A few weeks ago flying out of RDU the fire alarm went off, not a single person evacuated and I found that hilarious”

“This is how I survive. I’m a DM closing in on 2MM and I fly 6-8 segments a week. I have finally wrung all of the “give a damn” out of me. If my flight is delayed, oh well. Bad weather? Happens. Etc etc. I find that by not caring, I can survive this life. Once or twice a year, something crazy happens and I jump into action on the app and then in the Sky Club. Otherwise, I just take it.”

“I tried it for 6 months and then quit. I couldn’t handle it. Most of all I hated being away from my family all week every week. Second I hated being alone so much. I’m an introvert and require a significant amount of time alone, but it was a whole different level of being alone. Except when meeting clients for a few hours I was by myself all the time.”
