Can Anxious Fliers Accept The 737 MAX?
Flying is difficult for a person who feels comfortable only if they are in control. If they can't be in control, they need to feel confident that they are safe.
You may remember the movie "Rainman" in which Dustin Hoffman's character, Raymond Babbitt, would fly only on Qantas. Qantas, he said, never crashed. The thought of being on an airline that had never crashed didn't bother him.

“First, use the 5-4-3-2-1 Exercise as a backup, as mentioned above. Second, use it to combat anticipatory anxiety. Start by using it every fifteen minutes for an hour. Then, use it every thirty minutes for an hour. Next, use it once an hour for the remainder of the day.”

“My recommendation is that you complete the project in a week to ten days, enough time to finish this book and to do the exercise that establishes automatic control.”

“With the earth firmly beneath our feet, we can approach what attracts us, and withdraw from what unnerves us. If there is real danger, we can run. Mobility means security, both physically and emotionally. Flying takes away our most basic way of regulating feelings.”

“Chapter One of My Life. I walk down the street. There's a deep hole in the sidewalk. I fall in.
I am lost. I am helpless. It isn't my fault. It still takes forever to find a way out.
Chapter Two. I walk down the same street. There's a deep hole in the sidewalk. I pretend I don't see it. I fall in again. I can't believe I'm in the same place! But it isn't my fault. And it still takes a long time to get out.
Chapter Three. I walk down the same street. There's a deep hole in the sidewalk. I see it there. I still fall in. It's a habit! My eyes are open. I know where I am. It is my fault. I get out immediately.
Chapter Four. I walk down the same street. There's a deep hole in the sidewalk. I walk around it.
Chapter Five. I walk down a different street.”
