I just don't buy the "scared of flying" problem. I used to be terrified of flying and do you know what I did? I asked the doc for a prescription for a couple of valium and after that I stuck to using rescue remedy. I never, never got drunk. That just makes the problem worse.
We see this problem all the time at MAN in T1, which is mainly Lo-Co/Charter, there is a relationship no matter what you say.
