Hey Clandestino, we are talking about trained pilots, not random guys you pick up on the street. The only emotion an actual pilot might experience should be surprise. If any of the other emotions are being experienced, then that person doesn't belong in a cockpit without further training to convert those negative emotions into positive and considered action. Flying is not supposed to have a lot of emotion attached to it other than appreciation for the beauties of the sky and the earth.
