Keith,
I was wondering whether you might be able to take some time to address the questions in my June 28th post. If you are too busy, no worries; but just in case you forgot, this was just a gentle reminder. :-)
Oh I stand corrected then. The CAA have a black list of Companies that are banned. I'll do some more research.
Thanks for pointing that out.
Keith
Sorry Keith, I don't think that this is correct - they banned the aircraft itself but not the airline - it's not one of the companies that was blacklisted by the European Union: http://ec.europa.eu/transport/air-ban/pdf/list_en.pdf
So this airline…
Hi Phin
Is this Pearson Toronto? My son worked for Direct Energy for two years and we visited every 3 months or so. So I know the airport well...and the Gardiner (Gardner?) Freeway into town!
It took many visits for me to overcome my fear of height…
Keith,
Just wanted to say you are a great man for providing all this support!
I am flying in a month and my house is under the flight path of many planes leaving Pearson. Normally I don't notice them, but I have been spending a lot of time outside…

This Airline is not allowed to operate into Europe...that says a great deal.
I don't recommend flying with any airline that is banned by Europe
Keith
Quite right

Hi Cristina,
Just thought that I could reassure you a bit. I always thought that planes attempted a landing whatever the weather, but I remember once, flying to Nice, that we were about to land but there were dark thunder clouds. We had a great pilo…
Keith,
I do trust you and I think you have contributed a lot to my not going completely insane yet (though you might disagree about my state of mind as of this moment). I want to believe the assertion "The crew won't make an approach in weather tha…

...it's a forecast!
...it's a forecast!
Are you trained in this area? I suspect not because of your subsequent questions so my suggestion is that you leave it to the people that know what's relevant and what isn't. The crew won'…
Now, on top of my out of control fear, the weather at the destination is predicted to be "scattered T-storms". This sounds pretty bad to me after the two incidents last month, so I am thinking to change the flight.
What happens normally when there…
Thank you, Keith. I will be thinking of your words when flying, in 10 days.
Keith,
Thank you again for your support. What I was able to conclude from having read more about aviation is that when a person steps on a plane, that person is indeed more likely to come out alive than to NOT come out alive.
Unfortunately, my min…
Dear Keith and Lotty,
I want to assure you that this is not an argument I am trying to win as I definitely do not want to win it. I am just begging for some honest answers to some questions that have been torturing me and that I feel nobody has eve…
Waow, the difference between 2 hours and 7 hours!
At this moment, I am praying to get through one more trip by air, back to the US - as there is no other method available for us to get back right now.
Thereafter though, to see my family/homecountr…
Sometimes, visceral questions invade my brain and they feel more rational than reason itself: if flying is so safe, how come it causes so much misery and so much anxiety in so many people's minds? Aren't our brains and our guts trying to tell us som…
