Comfort Zone: How to Feel at Ease at 35,000 Feet

Comfort Zone was written as a response to the estimated 25 million Americans who are afraid to fly. "If 17% of the American population is nervous about boarding an aircraft, there is a real need to disseminate information about the industry," states author Larry Schmidlin. Comfort Zone explores the world of commercial aviation and enables the reader to get a feel for the industry itself. Comfort Zone takes the nervous passenger and shows them the expert knowledge that pilots and flight attendants are trained upon; the same knowledge that enables them to feel at ease while onboard the aircraft! Comfort Zone breaks the pattern of people living with a "fear of the unknown" and allows them to take control of the personal flight behavior. Inherent within the pages of Comfort Zone are a variety of topics that will help you to feel more at ease while onboard the aircraft. Such topics include: General Flight Preparation, Flight Crewmember Training, Emergency Preparation and Knowledge Building, and Personal Relaxation Techniques and Stress Management. By the end of the last chapter, the reader should have a general understanding of "what it takes" for new-hire cabin crews to successfully complete an airline training program. After reading Comfort Zone, anxious passengers are sure to find out what industry experts already know; that air transporation is the safest and most efficient means of modern travel.
