:P OK, I'll pay this silly game: There never was a Kraft Food Company, it was just a new name created for RJ Reynolds (the cigarette manufacturer). And there never was Colonel Sanders, it was just invented to give Pepsi a place to sell soda. And, there never was a Plymouth Motor Company, it was just created because "Chrysler Dodge" sounded funny without something in the middle . . . Hey, I'm getting good at this . . . . . .

I was not implying that we should forget where Airtran came from, or the horrible accident that caused the name change, but it is a different airline and should be seperated from its evil parent.

Afraid to fly
I have flown twice in my life and I have recently became scared to fly. I don't know why though. I have been searching for help and this is where I ended up. I don't want to be hypnotized or take drugs because it just doesn't seem right to me. Can someone please help?

Just come up with a way to stay calm while flying. Read a book, listen to music, ie... When I get scared, I just try to not think about where I am and just relax. (Probably no help at all.)

Maybe your just scared to fly since 9/11 happened. There's probably many people out there like that. Security has improved alot since then. You can fly sound asleep nothing is gonna happen. There was one person on here saying they had problems on a recent flight with lights flickering engines whining etc... I've flown a bunch of times i always hear the engines whining. Pilots usually apply full power on take offs then when airbore they will back the engines off. On apporach when the pilot sets the amount of flaps or uses the speed brake "i'm not a pilot" once flaps are set u'll notice the engine power being raised to maintain airspeed? maybe a airtran 717 pilot can explain more. As far as lights flickering i would not know? I find the 717 a very nice plane it's a little small for my taste i like the 767 personally but for short haul flights it's very nice. Also Boeing manufactures the 717 not airtran they just put their colors/logo. I'm also sure all the mechanics gotta be certified in some way? As technology improves there's gotta be alot of warning systems onboard also

I can admit i personally don't like take off's but i love landings it always feels weird to me after you climb a little then they back the power off i always think something happened to the engines. I've flown a bunch. But i always think that everytime.

This will also be my first trip with AirTran and also my first time on the 717 i'm looking forward to it. I'm more a fan of a larger aircraft but i'm excited about this one for some reason i always like rear mounted engine jets for some reason like the md80's and such.
