Never mind, i just cant do it. Im sitting here bawling my head because I am sending my kids off to go do this without me and they'll probably be terrified.
Its like saying, here you go be uncertain and scared and I get to stay home and I hate myself so much damn it. They are going with their Dad and have no clue
about my fears so, now they will know that mom isnt going because shes scared but, is sending them. Oh god, I hate myself.

Dear Stephanie,
I was feeling the way that you do about a week ago. My whole family and I were traveling for our summer vacation and I wanted to send everyone off without me. I ended up pushing through it and feel so much better that I went. Don't let your fear rob you of good times and making memories with your family. Get angry with your fear. I know you think you'll feel so much better canceling, but you'll feel ten times worse in the long run if you don't go and send your family without you. When you go, make sure you meet the Captain because that is what really made me feel better last week. Please don't let your fear rob you! You can do this!  I'll track you tomorrow.

Stephanie,
Have you used the SOAR program or have you spoken to Capt. Tom? I think that you should check it out. It will help you greatly. Middie |

Note from Capt. Tom I know everyone worries about weather, but pilots really do not worry about it. We simply - instead of worrying about it - completely prepare for it. Before going to the plane, we review the weather at the destination. If it is not 100% sure to be within legal limits when we arrive at the destination, we must specify an alternate airport in our planning documents, and load on plenty of fuel for going to the destination airport, and then if need be, diverting to the alternate airport. The legal limits are conservative. Even when weather is slightly outside the legal limits, any airline pilot could still land safely. You can rely on the captain never to land when the weather is not legal, and legality limits are reached prior to safety limits. If you are still anxious, call me and we can talk it over. I'm at 877 332-7359 from 10 AM until 7 PM Eastern time. For effective help, even if you are flying in a day or two, sign up now at www.fearofflying.com/fasttrack and call me when you finish Clip 9 so I can make sure you are all set. |

Using Weather Information If you enter your ZIP Code or City at the top of the weather presentation, it will give you weather for your area. Or, you can enter your destination ZIP Code or City.
Click on the "LOCAL RADAR" button to see whether or not there are thunder- Turbulence, though it may cause anxiety, does not mean anything is wrong. Turbulence does not mean danger. The plane can handle far more turbulence than Mother Nature can dish out. Though flying in turbulence is safe, it doesn't feel safe. And here is where the SOAR programs come in. We can help you feel as safe when you fly as you actually are. You can see these programs at www.fearofflying.com/store. |
