These are possibly true but I also beleive flight is not as "gee whiz"

The upside is most people who do fly think that flight is limited to
looking out from a pea-sized porthole, endless security and being
served small drinks.

Are you sure you didn't mean the downside?

To me riding in a jetliner with the tiny porthole and the drinkies is
indistinguishable from traveling in a luxury coach or a train (though
these have bigger windows and fewer hostesses) and is about as exciting.

Possibly our biggest problem is to get a potential pilot into a glider
in the first place so they become aware of the difference between what
we do and the airline experience.
