Let me echo these sentiments. I have read through these forums and would not have considered posting here until I read the opinion expressed above.

I fly about 25 times a year on average and am just in awe of the work you folks do. Nervous passengers like myself are not usually thinking of your work as dangerous but the fact is yours is a continuous battle against gravity, the elements and whatever else from take-off to landing. And like the individual above, I get home to the wife and kids every time.

Keep up the good work. You are appreciated and have my unflagging support in all instances.

I frequently fly YYZ-BOS on Eagle ERJ135's. I've been on many flights where the weather has been poor - landing in snowstorms, crosswinds, breaks between thunderstorms, etc. I'm crapping myself and you guys are probably loving it :D

After reading many of the posts in this forum over a couple of weeks I realize the challenges you guys and girls face every day. I just wanted to say Thank You and express my gratitude for flying me safely and skillfully and allowing me to see my family after every trip.
