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 - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Pat Browning. The setting is rural Wisconsin, halfway between East Troy and Elkhorn, on Hodunk Road, our nation was at war, and I was 6, 7 and 8 years old. George was our "threshing neighbor." He was the one with the threshing machine, a JI Case on steel wheels, and he pulled it to our farm with a JI Case standard tractor also on steel. In those days, steel wheeled implements were common. The roads were general gravel, so the lugs cutting into them wasn't a problem. George would set up the thresher, s
