This was the most reassuring email I have ever read. I was recently on a flight from Chicago to Tokyo and the pilot warned us before takeoff that it was going to be choppy for about 45 minutes. No sooner had we taken off than overhead compartment doors flew open and stuff started falling out! I remember thinking why this dumb (and a bunch of unmentionables!) pilot took such a crazy chance...now I feel better. And I apologize for all the names I called him! Thanks!!
