Passengers freaking out (fear of flying)
In response to a post in the NW forum - I was wondering if any of you know how the FA's handle a passenger that can't handle flying. Are there sedatives? In early Jan. on an NW flight from SEA-MSP we encountered mild turbulence. An individual seated directly behind me proceeded to repeat "Jesus, Jesus, oh Jesus" the ENTIRE flight. This was coupled with little crys when the plane jostled. Now I consider myself a good Presbyterian & a slightly experienced traveler - but the whole episode was disconcerting. Should any action have taken place? What would they have done if she started screaming? Just wondering . . .

That is what I have known people who are afraid to fly do.
In my case, I am worried that the stewardesses won't be cute...
If they are cute, I am good, LOL
