Mandated vaccines and masks have tipped the scale. Mask compliance has replaced liquor and smoking issues for the majority of passenger misconduct reports. Although the majority of flights take off and land without incident, there certainly are more, for good reasons,

I think the Greyhound comparison is too kind. If one is over 5’7”, they suffer a miserable jammed-in flight. We have flown often and afar over the years. Even though I still love to travel, I would only fly now if there was a family emergency.
