Little known fact about me: I hate to fly. I really do.

It’s not even that it scares me because it really doesn’t. I just find it to be the most inconvenient and stressful mode of transportation.

So when I read about Brendan Ross, I almost had a heart attack.

According to Wired.com, “the 28-year-old Texan is waiting for the feds to grant a security clearance so he can begin working as an air traffic controller.”

Now what does this have to do with anything?

Well, in the meantime, Ross wants to fly. He posted an ad on craigslist, asking for someone to buy him a JetBlue unlimited flight pass for one month. You can read the ad HERE.

Anyway, wired.com agreed to sponsor him with certain conditions attached. For one, he’s not allowed to stay in a hotel. If he’s not up in the air on a plane, he’s hanging out or sleeping in an airport. Two, he can’t check any luggage. Anything he wants to bring must fit in a carry-on bag.

He’s potentially taking 68 flights in the one-month period. It sounds completely miserable to me. And actually a couple of psychiatric experts agree. Psychologist Leon James of the University of Hawaii described the experiment as “torture” and “inhumane.”

Love to fly? Hate to fly? Let me know.
