Not at my tiny, non-international home airport. They've never seen one and won't accept mine. Yes, I used to argue it, but when the police got involved last time, I decided it wasn't worth going to jail over. And no PreCheck for international segments is ridiculous. :mad:

I'm guessing this doesn't include rebuilding CGX.....

Benadryl. :D I use both Claritin and Nasonex (which is not OTC of course, but works grea tfor me). Effective and no issues with flying.

Aren't the steroid nasal sprays options?

Compromise in marriage is overrated, IMO. It works better when one person gets 100% some of the time and the other person gets 100% some of the time. There are some things you just can't compromise on and if you try, both people end up miserable. Best to pick your battles and know what you're...

Not really afraid of them, just like my cheap club 172's without GPS. I didn't know if that was going to keep me from doing any meaningful IFR anymore. I used to routinely fly in IMC without even DME, so I can definitely enjoy flying with less, but wasn't sure if that was even possible anymore.

Yeah, this. People say you don't choose to love someone, but I believe in marriage you do. There are bad days in life and if you don't choose to love someone through them, then what's the point of marriage. Besides, do people really divorce over pain color? That's baffling to me.

My BFR is done, and now I hope to move on to some instrument work and (eventually) an IPC after the holidays. It's been quite a while since I've done any IFR flying - maybe five years? I feel overwhelmed just looking through this forum. GPS approaches? Have never even flown one. Seriously...

Yeah, this. I'm surprised (well, not really, which is sad) at people here who'd choose aviation over their spouse.

I want whatever Bose ANR headset you have that blocks voices. Mine blocks everything else out so well that voices are MORE annoying. Gogo's TOS and American Airlines policy prohibits VoIP calls. Not that there aren't ways around it, but I really don't want to listen to people yapping for...

I haven't sat directly next to anyone in over three years. I'm on the 1 seat side of an ERJ, or in first class. There are definitely ways around the overweight seatmate problem, especially on smaller aircraft. Exit row seats also work well for this, because the armrests don't raise.

OP, you are giving this woman waaaaaaay too much power. Ignore her, follow the FBO's policies and defer to CFI's when the situation calls for it. That's it.

It'll roll off the reporting period. :) Thanks for the advice everyone!

I'm afraid of flying GA and commercial aircraft. Unless I'm in the front seat, I'm pretty nervous. So I avoid backseat GA flying at all costs. Commercial flying isn't quite as easy to avoid for me, but the sheet amount I do numbs me to some extent. I personally know too many extreme risk...

Becky, you mention your own love affair with flying that stopped when some friends were killed - I'm being completely honest here, but have you thought of seeing a counselor to talk about that? It seems like a long time to hold on to something terrible, especially when it's affecting your...
