Each year in europe when the weather is bad I get a lot of enquiries about the safety aspects of flying in what people see as bad weather. The first thing to remember is that the chaos that we get on the roads is caused mailny by bad driving and secondly by the actual road […]
I met Keith in the summer of 2003, because I absolutely had to get on a plane to Washington DC in December of that year. I was pursuing every avenue I could in order to get as much help as possible, because I was really stuck on the ground, as it were. (I had decided, […]
The opportunity to attend Keith’s seminar came like a bolt from the blue. I knew that I had to confront this fear but I wasn’t really thinking about how or when. The call came through a friend of a friend who knew about the ‘Cyprus Incident’ and thought of me. I’m now wondering if there […]
