My first ever airline trip was August of 1977....to boot-camp in Texas. If I had jet-lag (at age 18).the Air Force didn't care. They woke me up at 5:30 AM the next morning and the adventure started.
Throughout my 20s and 30s....I never noticed any issues with jet-lag. Approaching forty....these travel days where I got up at 4 AM....showing up at the airport at 8 AM, and flew a 9-hour flight (back into the US)....that's where I started to notice 'burn-out'.
So this week when Joe Biden hyped-up jet-lag....yeah, he might have a point, but if you said that the guy had seven-plus days to chill out and recover? Well....that's mostly all BS.
All this BS does....is make reporters ask how the President will recover after any flight activity. Then they will eventually get to the question....are you too old for all this travel required in the job?
