I learnt about flying from this...
Extract from "Men's Health" magazine:
"If you tend to get sick on aeroplanes,choose a seat near the right side of the aircraft (most flight plans call for planes to circle left- so you'll feel less turbulence than anyone else)"
30 years in the saddle and I never knew that!

I think that Men's Health ought to bear in mind that the 'Right hand side' of the aircraft becomes the left, the moment that you become inverted.
Which is also the moment that air sickness becomes more of a problem.

So First Officers are the 'right stuff' and Captains are left over? <img src="confused.gif" border="0">

Perhaps I shouldn’t go so far as to call it a popular magazine but they still reach a lot of readers. If they had any idea of the impact a statement like this has. Now all those who has read this will want sit on the right side of the plane due to medical reasons. It’s like superstition, very few believe it to be true if you ask them but many will do all sorts of silly things just to be on the safe side.
