I always kind of knew it since I could never stand depending on people, even “experts”, since I know how many screw up. That even included airline pilots, which was why I was never comfortable flying even though I knew the odds. Thus, when it became necessary to fly in a small private jet. I was even more nervous than usual, since I didn’t think those pilots are quite as good as commercial. But once in the air I wasn’t nervous at all and tried to figure out why. I realized it was because I sat right behind the open cockpit and could both talk to the pilots and see out the front window!
No further explanation needed. All comments welcome.
