OPINION - Air India, Boeing and the reason I'm no longer unafraid of flying

I never used to be scared of flying as a child. I absolutely relished it. I’d have lived in an airport like Tom Hanks in The Terminal if they let me. I’d have willingly circled airports for hours before landing. I loved every second of it.

But we get more scared as we get older, don’t we? You’ve got more to lose, more years behind you, more of your fleshy, human stock invested in planet earth.
