Awaiting FAA Action
Because the FAA and the airline business are so political, it takes a public outcry to bring change. Even then, change is slow. It has been over a year since the crash in Buffalo make the public aware that pilot fatigue is a safety issue.
Congress is pushing the FAA to get the job done. Sen. Byron Dorgan, D-N.D., chairman of the Senate Commerce, Science and
Transportation Committee, said it is urgent that the FAA study the amount of commuting airline pilots are doing and figure out a solution to make sure pilots are not tired when they go on duty. He said he wouldn't want to get on
a plane with a pilot who hadn't slept in a bed the night before and he
doubted anyone else would either.

Sen. John Thune, R-S.D. said "People push themselves and put themselves in situations where they are fatigued and clearly that's a situation that needs to be addressed,"
As always, the FAA says either there is no problem or it is someone else's responsibility. An FAA spokesperson told the committee it's up to pilots to show up for work rested and ready to fly, and the overall accident rate is very good.

"I Figured I Was Hopeless And That Nothing Would Ever Help. I was Wrong"
Tom:
I wanted to write and express my gratitude for your program. Let me tell you a little about me for background. I had a really bad flight when I was traveling alone as a teenager and became fearful of flying. I had flown just once since that time about thirteen years ago and it was a horrible experience. The anxiety began weeks ahead of time and I spent the entire flight (I went back and forth from Detroit to Denver) clinging to a friend for dear life while having constant panic attacks. I could not enjoy my vacation for the anticipatory anxiety for the return flight home. I have done everything in my power to avoid flying for the last twenty years, including making my husband of ten years drive for all of our vacations, including our honeymoon.
I have been through therapy and tried other methods to kick my fear of flying and nothing worked. It was very frustrating for me not to be able to get myself to fly. I have avoided great vacations and avoided having to travel for work because of my fear.
Sick of being not able to travel and being absolutely insistent not to miss my sister's wedding in Jamaica, I decided to try your program. As you probably hear from a lot of people who struggle with this fear, I figured I was hopeless and that nothing would ever help. I was wrong. I just returned from a week long vacation in Jamaica last night. I was amazed. I had done all the videos and spent the two weeks or so before the flight doing the strengthening exercise. I had no panic and no anxiety on the flights!!! I did not even have to do the 5-4-3-2-1 on the flights once (although it did help with the anticipatory anxiety). All imagination and "movie making" was removed. When things happened with the plane, I knew from you exactly what it was and that it was nothing to worry about. I enjoyed my vacation and did not spend my week anxious about the flight home. I never thought I would be comfortable in a plane but I found myself at ease during the flights.
I cannot express to you how thankful I am for your program and what it has done for me. Being absolutely terrified at the thought of flying is something I have dealt with for nearly 20 years. I am finally relieved. I will now be able to go places and see things that I thought I would never have the opportunity to do.
Again, thank you very much.

SOAR Will Work For You Too
Even if you are doubtful, SOAR nevertheless works. This is because we, with the help of brain scan research that showed us how the mind works, broke the code on flight anxiety, claustrophobia, and panic.
SOAR was established in 1982 because no programs existed that could
help people with moderate to severe difficulties. Even today, no other
program offers help that is effective except for mild difficulties. No
matter how difficult flying is for you, we can help.
