Are Pilots Scared of Flying?
Obviously, pilots wouldn’t be doing what they do if they were scared of flying. Air transportation is one of the safest means of traveling because it’s so highly scrutinized and there are many fail-safes in place. In fact, it’s even safer than driving or taking the train. Most flying accidents occur 3 minutes after takeoff and about 8 minutes to landing.
So, pilots ensure that they are alert and cautious during these critical phases of flight. In fact, below 10,000 they’re only allowed to have conversation pertaining to the flight itself, so you’re in safe hands. Besides, they have the best office view in the world so we don’t see them complaining.
