    As my father said, " there's only 2 emotions on a flight, boredom or terror"
  • I absolutely HATE turbulence...and when the captain says "cabin crew return to your seats" I freak out i silence.
  • @christenbk3850
    As a control freak, the only thing that scares me is the fact that I am not flying the plane and seeing what's happening in the cockpit. :)

    I am not afraid of flying, I am afraid of suddenly not flying
  • @mrdugris7724
    As long as the cabin crew is serving Iā€™m fine..when they disappear to their seats I know weā€™re gonna be rocked!!
  • @enigmadrath1780
    Our flight once hit a very nasty patch of turbulence over the Pacific. I think for many nervous passengers it's not knowing whether the pilots have it all under control. This particular crew was great about this as one pilot talked to the cabin throughout the episode. Hearing how calm and unbothered he was instantly assured everyone and the cabin settled despite the violent shaking and rocking.

    I'm slowly getting over my fear of flying. When I know what to expect, I'm calmer. Thanks so much, MenTour Pilot
  • @anthonyjames4648
    I just wish pilots would say SOMETHING to the passengers just to give them some reassurance that everything is ok and all is well etc..Or else we expect the worst not knowing whats going on
  • @skipgetelman3418
    I'm a retired 777 Captain and I really enjoy your presentations You are very good at explaining things Great job. Skip
  • @Flamus4head
    Another very important thing for the Pilots to do when having turbulence is TALK TO YOUR PASSENGERS! A big part of aerophobia is fear of loosing control, they cant see what going on in the cockpit. Just keep them informed on what is happening and most people will be much more calmer.

    Flight SQ 321, 777-300ER Heathrow to Changi, Singapore, severe Air Turbulence incident with one dead and 30 injured earlier this afternoon (GMT+8 time zone) with emergency landing at Bangkok, Tuesday May 21st 2024 brought me here..... Thank you Mentour
  • @picklecat4819
    The only turbulence I like is when we are coming down to land and flying through the clouds I know why the turbulence is happening and I know I'm getting closer to the ground but it's the only time I'm calm on an aircraft.
  • @l.jimenez3017
    I find my anxiety gets better when I know what is going on! Knowing what you guys do helps that, thank you cap šŸŒ

    This video should be available for streaming on every flight. As someone with a significant fear of flying, I canā€™t tell you how informative and reassuring I found this video. I love the level of detail you spoke to regarding the science AND mechanics. Iā€™ll be watching this right before my 14hr international flight next month...Really thank you šŸ‘ØšŸ¼ā€āœˆļøšŸ™šŸ¼āœˆļøšŸ™‹šŸ¼ā€ā™€ļø
  • @cun7us
    Brilliant video. I wish this guy could be my pilot every time, I'd feel safe just knowing he's in charge of the plane.
  • @arushasmusic8523
    Turbulence has been the number 1 reason why I get nervous and scared on flights. It has taken me years of working on myself, to a) understand and accept that it is normal, and b) to be able to experience it and stay relaxed. It's still work in progress, but I'm getting there. And this video was a very helpful reminder of why it is normal, what it is, and also that the bits of turbulence that I experienced as horrible, were never more than Moderate. Thank you !

    The man who loves animals can only be a good person; and when highly intelligent on top of it...oh wow, what a catch! Great presentation!
