Job worry with recent events?
Hi Guys.
I just wondered if any of you have worries with your job at the moment and you're thinking you don't want to fly. I just wondered if your airlines are asking you if you're ok with doing USA flights?
I think alot of crew will be worried but to scared to say anything because they'll look stupid. Just wondered your thoughts?

allister,
In my company one of the company Doctors is specialized on treating people who had bad experiences while on duty, and people scared to fly for whatever reason. We are encouraged to see her in case we don't feel comfortable with flying. It happened to many after 9/11, or after the Concorde accident.
I personally don't have problems with flying to the US, apart of the fact that I find the so called "security measures" totally idiotic and a huge price to pay for window dressing and avoiding funding effective but expensive measures such as explosives detectors and pax profiling.

It depends on your point of view. These kind of events make me even more determined to fly. I'm not having a pack of over zealous religious nuts frightening me out of my chosen career!

To be honest, these scares happen to often that I just chose to ignore them as best I can or at least put it to the back of my head. At the end of the day, we have far more scares then actual incidents so I try not to let it worry me, otherwise I would just find myself locked up in my house afraid enter the outside world!
