Cramps and flu. Gross. Flying is gross.Airlines cut corners to maximise profitability. Pieces of planes fall off in mid-air (in the news today!). They catch on fire. The noses, tails, wings, engines fall right off. The pilots sleep, play games and drink. I know that these accidents are small in number when compared to the vast quantity of flights each day, but it's enough to demonstrate a severe lack of concern within the industry for the comfort and safety of their customers.

Of course, FM has their own private plane so these could all be non-issues. I still believe her though, because flying blows.

All of your issues are valid but none of them apply to the traveling 1st class rock star who can stretch out on a comfortable bed and smoke a joint with her fellow passengers and be waited on hand and foot by a private staff while flying like a whip through the air.
