First of, Capt Tom wholeheartedly explained to me on the phone and all anticipatory anxiety that consists of imagery ONLY in the brain is worth precisely ... nothing. He put it in some other strong words that somehow came through for me. No it didn't releave anything, but made me to see things in a different light. I had an upcoming round trip from Cleveland to Minneapolis with all kinds of premonitions, predictions, fears and etc that many of us feel and experience. I looked up ERJ 145 XR that turns out to be one of the saftest and well build airplanes around. IN summary, despite my premonitions, the flights were very pleasant, smooth, and on time. I have renewed my faith in the airline industry. Continental express delivered very well. On the way back, the pilot said that climb will be bumpy and I was very much paying attention to any slightest bumps. Well, the bumps were almost nothing. I remember my analogy for airplane during bumps like fish in the windy sea. Nice analogy for me. I hope others can use it.

So in summary, was I scared to fly for 1 month before? Yes. Was I reading into the "signs"? Yes. Did the signs ended up being signs? NO. Will I fly ERJ-145? Definitely! Will I fly in general? Well, yes. I realized that industry of passenger aviation is a global well oiled machine with occasional chokes, but overall running very well. Pilots, stewardesses, and other personnel know their job very well and try hard to please the passengers.

I hope my little report helps someone to feel better about flying

Thanks Capt Tom for your continuing support.
