does this mean I will never be picked for jury duty? yay?
that is an interesting point that the attorney made though, about pilots used to controlling their environment. i was reading some article in aopa mag once that many pilots actually have a fear of heights.. the reason why the fear of height doesnt affect them while doing their job is that they know they are in control (of their aircraft).
