I flew right after 911, like the week after, knowing it would be the safest time to go (despite my family having nervous breakdowns). But afterwards, with all the "cost measures" put into place, especially those that bought into the magic math Indian myths, I stopped having faith in any programs that relied on transferring engineering or development to lower cost countries. This included ALL aerospace (remember all the air traffic control and ticket system failures?) and a lot of precision manufacturing. The facilities people and janitorial staff did not deserve the horrors perpetrated upon them. Haven't taken a plane in over a decade, would have been longer but family needs prevailed that time.
