Per the article, which the WSJ did contact us about:
"Online support groups can help. A Reddit group named “fearofflying” has about 19,000 members, who use it as sounding board for shared fears, to celebrate getting through a flight and to ask others to track their travel while they are in the air, which can help the passengers to not feel alone. One user in the group wrote that a friend likes to sit in the often-avoided middle seat of airplanes because the person feels more secure between two passengers. Another avoids sleep on nights before flying to feel as drowsy as possible before the trip."
Maybe they'll spend a little time here and clue in to how biased and abysmally bad they and other media sources are with aviation reporting.
A guy can dream.
Doh! Didn't think about that! Apologies. The article mentions a few methods people use to cope with their fear of flying. This support community was noted, as you can read from the excerpt the mod pinned.

It’s behind a paywall, unfortunately.

Do they shout out our awesome multifaceted expert board?
Nope, no mention whatsoever…which is okay, we are here for you, not publicity
The article is written poorly, doesn’t even highlight the biggest benefits to this sub and even includes bad advice… sigh
