I teach sociology.

Back to BMI tomorrow! SFO to DWF to BMI, actually. Sort of surprised they have direct flights to longer hauls. (I flew via Chicago on the way here, which made more sense.)

I do find I feel more nervous on regional flights with younger pilots. I actually choose NOT to meet them if they look too young. Isn't that terrible? But I only fly American, and I know they have quality training, even on American Eagle, etc. etc. etc.

Congratulations on your appointment to IWU! What are you teaching?

My connection -- my wife's first two years of college were taken at IWU. (1966-1968. And -- we're Methodists.)

Cheers.

Steve

Why, yes! I'm a new professor this fall at IWU. Do you have a connection down there?

What brought you to Bloomington (BMI)? Anything to do with Illinois State University, or Illinois Wesleyan University?

Cheers.

Steve

I am flying in the morning. Not just flying, but flying out of a new, small airport, on a small jet, to a connecting flight that is then going all the way to California. A year ago, three years ago, that would have had me nervous and sick for weeks. But this time? I keep waiting to get scared, and it's just not happening.

I simply feel excited for my trip, happy to be able to travel, and even excitedly curious about this whole regional airport and small plane business. I now live in Central Illinois, and I'm downright thrilled to be flying to my connecting flight in Chicago in just 30 minutes, at an altitude of 11,000 feet. And then to be boarding a much bigger plane to go to California in just 4 hours.

I can only thank SOAR, Captain Tom, Captain Steve, and all of you for helping me gradually get here over the past 2-3 years.

Who knows, maybe tomorrow some nerves will hit or I'll have a bumpier... ]]> feeds@kickapps.com (MeghansNerves) http://fearofflyingmessageboard.com/topic/2070 Wed, 05 Aug 2009 18:59:20 PST
