Flight attendant

I created Flying Fear (this website) for YOU – the fearful flyer – a year ago with one main goal, to help as many of you overcome your debilitating fear as possible. Whether it’s email support, or the articles on the site, I hope I’ve contributed the best I can.

As regular readers will already know, I am a Flight Attendant and NOT a psychologist. In fact, I have zero training in counselling, or any other form of self help. I just wanted to use my expertise in flying to help out where possible.

BUT, the fear of flying can be a complicated phobia which sometimes requires more expertise than I can possibly offer. It’s an irrational fear that can ruin family, social, and work life. Of course, I don’t really need to tell you this…..you know it already.

All the courses below are available instantly online, and can be downloaded directly to your computer for your convenience.

I’ve been asked this question regularly; what happens if the pilots get sick while flying the aircraft?

Firstly, pilots are healthy men and women. To get the job – and keep it – pilots must pass an extensive medical every year. This medical is carried out by a well-qualified doctor, and results are passed on to the company that employs the pilot concerned.

If at any time in his/her career a pilot fails [click to continue reading this article…]
