The answer, of course, is of course not! There are entire industries devoted to continued and improved safety, and I still have to remind myself that my fears, reactions, intellectual processes, or ideas have NOTHING AT ALL to do with the outcome of the flight.

I know you know this too. But just an affirmation that others think this too, and that it has NO impact on what actually happens.

All the more reason I believe SOAR works (even as I feel a little anxious to fly myself on Wednesday!). Perhaps this is good news in this context, but you are never "cured" --you just make (substantial) progress.

I was driving to work today and saw a bunch of people on their cell phones and I tried to tell myself that I was much more likely to be in an accident with these nuts than gliding through the air at 35,000 feet.

I think part of me feels like I have to be worried prior to a flight, kind of showing it some respect or its going to take it... ]]> feeds@kickapps.com (CRob21) http://fearofflyingmessageboard.com/sreply/6990 Wed, 10 Jun 2009 09:51:40 PST http://fearofflyingmessageboard.com/reply/6985/t/Flying-Thursday-.html#reply-6985 feeds@kickapps.com (Capt Tom Bunn MSW LCSW) http://fearofflyingmessageboard.com/sreply/6985 Wed, 10 Jun 2009 07:31:42 PST http://fearofflyingmessageboard.com/reply/6984/t/Flying-Thursday-.html#reply-6984
While some of us may think the Air France event has changed everything, it really hasn't. As Capt. Tom has said, flying is still as safe as it ever was. In fact, I would venture to say it is even safer now ... because this event has raised awareness of a technical instrument issue that is being resolved as we discuss this. So there you have it!

What were the things you did in prior... ]]> feeds@kickapps.com (Portastorm) http://fearofflyingmessageboard.com/sreply/6984 Wed, 10 Jun 2009 05:46:38 PST http://fearofflyingmessageboard.com/topic/1989/t/Flying-Thursday-.html
Im flying again for the second time in as many months, this time from Seattle to Boston on Alaska (direct!). Unfortunately, the recent incident stirred me up a little bit and Im starting to freak. I had been doing pretty well with my flights lately, but with the Air France plane going down a few hours into cruise I feel like I took a step back. My biggest fear is that something that has never happened before will happen during my flight, and there will be no way to prepare for it.

Anyway, no way for me to get out of this one... Im going for a wedding that Im best man in! Any words of encouragement are always appreciated
