Fear of Flying? We Have the Cure

Flying is part of the job here at In Your Pocket. Indeed, thinking about it, the last calendar year has seen the Pocket Blogger take off and land at least 100 times. And yet, and yet, we hate flying. God we hate it. Taking off, landing, every bump, every wobble. And every time we get on a plane it gets worse. Irrational, I know, but at the same time perhaps understandable.

At least that was the case until last Tuesday, when Pocket Blogger got to ride in the cockpit of an Airbus A320 flying from ***** to ********** on a ******* flight.

We have had to delete any details to protect the identity of the pilot, a friend of ours, who would almost certainly be fired if the powers that be found out he was carrying his mates in the cockpit (one of whom was sitting on the dashboard as there were no seats).

Having seen first hand how very little pilots actually do (in a flight of just over an hour they were 'at the wheel' as it were for less than ten minutes) and how relaxed pilots are, flying now holds no fear for us. Every bump that used to make us shudder with fear is now ignored, safe in the knowledge that far from struggling to keep it all together up there in the cockpit the pilot is in fact sitting with his feet up drinking copious amounts of coffee.

To anyone who may be scared of flying, I implore you to find yourself a pilot willing to take you in the cockpit. Your fear will evaporate in an instant.

Money back guaranteed.
