I've been in flight (not for work, but for vacation or personal reasons) hundreds of times then I stopped. I said "no" to myself. Huge error.

This means that even planes from foreign carriers must meet the FAA maintenance regulations before they are allowed to land at U.S.-based airports. - <a href="http://www.fray.com/hope/pieces/cameron.html" rel="nofollow">I Am Not Afraid To Fly</a> It helps to know that the FAA has the strictest aircraft maintenenace rules in the world.

All my father ever wanted to do was fly planes, and though he was in a plane crash in '69 (he was a crop duster at the time) and got 3rd degree burns on 30% of his body , namely his face, chest, and left arm it didn't stop him from being a Captain for Southwest for 20 years. My brothers both learned to fly (one threw bags for Southwest) and my past two stepmothers have been a captain and a stewardess respectively. My whole family not only loves to fly, but we can all fly wherever, whenever, for free. Thank God I've finally come out of a multi-year bout of being terrified to fly! There are good people in and around those airplanes who also have families they want to get back to, people who've taken off and landed thousands and thousands (and thousands) of times. You should also look into A Natural History of Love.

Early learning can rarely, if ever, be underestimated.
