well, 30 seconds is a bit under kill - it would take several minutes from altitude before you become like a bug splat on a windshield - I think my biggest fear is having a major depressurization event at altitude and being removed from what remains of the airplane......would be quite a ride though :-)
I'm all good with flying and turbulence until the flight attendants start to get nervous looks in their little seats. Then I get nervous.

Oh and yeah, getting sucked out of a plane would suck. Hope it's still low and you have some thick tree canopy below. Some girl survived such a scenario in Peru (according to the astute academic source that is cracked.com)

EDIT: I'm sure all this talk is really helping his fear of flying.
