Interesting: I have not heard this feedback from any patients to date. Another option is small, semi-permanante acupuncture needles in the ears.

Tolerance: Perhaps you and your colleagues have a mutually high tolerance for benzodiazepines. Or, you are extremely fearful of flying and need more intensive treatment. Psychotherapy and also some pre-flight courses can be very helpful, along with acupuncture as dr. Fowler describes. I have used homeopathy with some success, in similar situations.
