Day two at the World Conference

I met a whole bunch of great guys today.

I’ve fixed a link with Glenda down in Australia to look after Phoebe when she gets down there.

 

International Civil Aviation Organisation

Two ladies from Portugal are going to translate my book. A guy called L is giving me a few ideas about helping fearful travellers.
I was talking to a reporter from the Ottowa Citizen newspaper about the fear of flying for an article and it turned out that she has a fear of flying so when Janice joins us on the forum let’s give her a warm welcome.
Everyone here represent people who actually want to help people to deal with their fear of flying. There are definately some good facilities/providers who couldn’t make it here but it’s good to see all these premier providers making the effort to structure and facilitate help for nervous flyers.

World Fear of Flying Conference

Hi Everyone just to let you know how the conference is going.

Lot of knowledgable people here when it comes to fear of flying.

International Civil Aviation Organisation

There’s a view that the airlines don’t really do enough for anxious passengers. That message is going to be passed on to ICAO as part of a policy proposal. Certainly the impression I’m getting is that something needs to be done.
I’m asking questions of all the leading players here so I hope the quality of my advice will improve. Around the world there seems to be mixed opinions as to what is the best treatment.

Flight from Heathrow to Montreal and back

For anyone who is normally anxious about turbulence

…you should have been on the transatlantic crossing with me yesterday. (and then on the trip back again)

 

 

 

 

Absolutely perfect all the way. Not a ripple. I hope that gives encouragement to anyone who thinks that there’s turbulence everytime a plane gets airborne.

Outstanding safety record endorsed.

We get all sorts of people taking an interest in our products so it was very nice to receive this note out of the blue.

This book  explains the safety features and emergency procedures of modern passenger aircraft while answering many frequently asked questions. They also put into context the outstanding safety record of today’s aviation. By so doing, this book and the CD Set may well help some people to overcome their fear of flying”

 

Getting around the web site

 

A few months ago when we launched this new site we planned on some features that would make it helpful to visitors.

We had no idea that it would blossom in the way that it has.

We are getting thousands of visitors and some super comments about the site.
Each day we get closer to developing the site in a way that we think will help people who have a fear of flying to find a way of dealing with it. So far we’re the only web site that has video help  audio helpcasts information about fear, weather, strategies and loads more, but we notice from our statistics that visitors seem to stop searching the site as soon as they’ve found the things they need to know.
There is an amazing amount of help on the site and I wonder if visitors are reluctant to look everywhere just in case they think they might find something they didn’t want to see.
Let me assure you that every single bit of information on the site is user friendly there is nothing that will upset you or make things worse…so please explore and build your confidence.
The podcasts and free helpcasts are like the rest of the site … designed to help you find your way of dealing with your anxieties. So please tune in to them.
