Once on board and seated, immediately get out good reading material and/or put your Ipod on. Generally, by the time it is readt for departure your anxiety level should be going down. Also as suggested, possibly seek medication. But given the state of the airline industry, if you want to continue to fly RJs are going to be a reality in today's environment.
