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).
Not so fast aviator breath. What it means that you will be called, put on a panel, sit around for the better part of a week, be dismissed by every defense lawyer, sit around some more, be dismissed yet again, go back to the jury pool waiting spot, pick up your paperback. Repeat this act for a week, then go back to your regular life. Do this about every five years.
