Doc,

I wanted to write and thank you for your efforts to save our society and enlighten us in uncharted and potentially shark infested waters.

I'm a pilot with the airlines here in the US and have been with my airline since '79. I'm 61 and divorced twice.

Not an easy industry to have a relationship, with being gone 14-17 days per month. We have a saying in the industry, not proud of by the way, you're not a real airline captain until you've been divorced at least once.

Being in a target rich environment all the time, your studies and book have helped me tremendously. If only I had your information back in the day.

As pilots, discipline is the key. Take your time,do your checklist. If not sure about something, and there is a cognitive dissonance - (gut feeling for something doesn't seem right or a conflict), put the brakes on and stop everything until the situation is resolved.

Works with flying, can work with women.

Doc, you should be a visiting professor at our ground school when we hire new pilots. Actually, for our senior pilots, as well. Mandatory attendance to learn how to handle yourself in the real world. As you mention on your bonus interview series, everything is cute in the beginning.

I see things now that weren't in my periphery before.

Doc, God Bless you for the incredible work you're doing for us. I greatly appreciate it.

Sincerely,

Steve
