Cures for Regional Jet Stress Syndrome

Wow, people like to rationalize everything these days. I just got back from a 22 hour trip in a Cessna 172 where I was sweating (at altitude) and felt all sorts of bumps along the way from New York to Arkansas and back. Should I see a therapist to treat my condition too? Hmm, what should I call it?

that's so sad. shows how weak people really are!

damn dude! i feel your pain, been there and done that! my A36 isn't much better. the most uncomfortable UH-60 trips i ever had were across the hot and steamy desert... no A/C, no soundproofing and no doors. though i have a feeling that aviation nuts like us are immune, must have something to do with our blood.

Your A36 isn't much better?!? I'd have to respectfully disagree. 30 or 40 more knots, comfy seats, and air conditioning (possibly) trumps the 172, IMHO. :D It was a fun trip nonetheless. I fly both types regularly so I can't really complain too much.

Does the author want some cheese with that whine!? Give me a break!

The Bonanza has air conditioning, but those giant windows in the Beech make the cabin like a greenhouse. Having the big white wings reflecting sun right under the cockpit windows doesn't help much, either.

You guys have it real bad!
