Does The Fear
Of Flying keep You From Enjoying Life Or Conducting
Business? |
 |
|
Recent
polls show that up to 50% of people are plagues by an
irrational fear of flying, fueled by repetitive thoughts
of gloom and doom.
Fear of flying can affect people
in all walks of life, and can range from mild anxiety
to full-blown panic attacks at the mere thought of boarding
an aircraft. Behavior modification and learning about
such concepts as what makes an airplane fly will help
to ease the white-knuckled travelers’ troubled
minds. Flight Attendant Express is offering seminars
to help those who wish to overcome their fears.
The
seminar, the first-of-a-kind in the Orlando area, features: |
| |
- Presentations by FAA, airline
and mental health professionals
- Airport tour
- Delta Air Lines tour to learn
about the safety features
- Tours of the Delta tower
- Counseling by licensed mental
health therapist
- Optional “graduation”
plane ride

Topics covered in
the seminar will include the role of the flight attendant,
pilot, ground crew, meteorologist and air traffic controller in keeping the skies safe. Flight attendants and an
air traffic controller/pilot from OIA will reinforce
the safety of air travel. A mental health professional
will teach flight-related coping skills and will offer
support on the safety aspects of air travel. Our staff
offers you this unique opportunity to acquire psycho-educational
information and gain coping skills.
