That's a horrible story. You know I've been on a plane more than 100 times and I have never encountered a v*er. Just lucky I guess. Tranquilizer is a good idea. Take one as a trial run before you leave one night to see how you do with it. I take Ativan when I fly and it actually just calms me and doesn't knock me out or render me useless. If you wind up next to a v*er ask to be relocated. How often is there not at leasdt one empty seat to move to. I asked to be moved beforw and wound up in 1st class. If you're polite to flight attendants they're almost always willing to accomidate you. Try not to worry too much in advance. By the way, I'll fly your airline once you get it up and running. Haha!!
