Nice post....Who do you fly for?


I am a Captain for a major airline here in America.... In my 30 years I have never had a major emergency or really felt afraid. Our training is top notch. If you have the time stop by the cockpit and telll the pilots that you are a bit afraid to fly. They will most likely let you look inside and ask any questions that might help take away some of your fear. I go to refresher training every 9 months-4 days of regs, airplane systems review, and 2 full days of simulator training handling just about every type of emergency you could imagine. I have to get a physical exam every 6 months from a FAA approved DR. who is trained to look for pilot specific health problems. I can't just go to any DR and get meds for a problem like you can. It has to be checked and approved by the FAA and monitored by a FAA DR. I get random checkrides by both the company and the FAA without any notice-imagine going to the local Farm and Fleet and as you open the door to your car a State Trooper asks for your drivers license and medical proof that you are healthy from an approved DR within the last 6 months. He says, "I'm going to ride with you for the next 2 hours to make sure you are fit to drive." You cannot deny him a seat in your car and must answer any and all questions about the vehicle, rules of the road, weather, and state policy on operating your vehicle. If he thinks you are not fit to be in charge he leaves you at the Farm and Fleet and takes your driver's license. You not only can't drive but you get no paycheck for at least 2 months, probably longer.
In short what I am saying is, we are regulated, trained and checked more than even the Doctors who do open heart surgery.

If you want to ask some specific questions or would like to talk about it...let me know. Don't miss this time of your life with your wife....you CAN get passed this

Today's Featured Article - Show Coverage: Godfrey, Illinois Country Days - by Cindy Ladage. Except for last fourth of July's Old Gold show in Springfield, Illinois, I don't remember when it was so hot. Nevertheless, the heat didn't keep vendors and visitors alike from enjoying the third annual Country Day's Event. Jane Elliott said the event was originally a one man show. "Barry Seiler, owner of Country Town Farm Supply store used to invite people up to the Johne Deere store. He would give hats and a free meal for everyone that brings a tractor." Elliott said while this ... [Read Article]
