Take that dream vacation far, far away...
But when the time comes, are you afraid to board an airplane? Or you'll fly, but stress out about it?
This may be the most important message you'll ever read.
My name is Meryl Getline. I am a retired international airline captain for a major airline (United). I typically crossed either or both the Atlantic and Pacific Ocean each month.I am an author, columnist, frequent radio and television guest and motivational speaker. But enough about me. I am here to talk about you.
Fearful Flyers Rejoice! The Answer is Clear!
Information and
Understanding Are Everything!
Here's why:
After interviewing countless anxious and fearful flyers I am CONVINCED that the biggest difference between them and pilots is KNOWLEDGE.
When you hear strange sounds at home, in your car and especially in an airplane, it's absolutely normal to perceive the sounds as potentially dangerous. And I'll be the first person to say that sometimes there is a need to be concerned. But until you've investigated the discovered the cause, being fearful can hinder the way you live your life. Take away the mystery and the fears dissolve--simple as that in most cases.
WHY SHOULD I TRUST MY PILOTS?
Many fliers that I've interviewed admit that a BIG issue is that they they have no control over what's happening on the airplane in the air. But trusting the airplane and the pilot to care for your well-being comes with understanding what design and training took place so your safety is always the biggest concern.
This is one of the very issues I'll explore with you in my two-hour information-packed CD set called "Ground School for Passengers." You put your life in your doctor's hands, your finances in your accountant's hands, your legal issues in your attorney's hands, but you don't correlate that with putting your safety in your pilot's hands when it comes to flying.
Professional pilots are trained and capable. When you hear about the initial and grueling ONGOING TRAINING that pilots do year- after-year my belief is you'll accept that you are in exceptionally good hands. This is your chance to hear right from the horse's mouth--me--an international airline pilot.
I was assisted in the writing and producing of this course by Captain Al Carmickle, a retired international B-747-400 captain. Some of my readers from my other site, www.fromthecockpit.com know Captain Al as "Al The Web Guy" as he takes care of my sites and other technical necessities.
Our goal is to help you overcome your fear of flying by our vantage point as captains for a major airline. And if we can't, help you, you have nothing to lose because we will refund every penny. If we weren't absolutely confident we can help you overcome your fear, we wouldn't make the offer.
I know you're probably skeptical that you can overcome this deep fear so easily, but fear of flying happens to be one of the easiest fears to overcome. Let me give you three good reasons why I can back up what I claim:
Three Reasons To Believe You Can be a Fearless Flyer.
Reason one: Between us, Captain Al and I have over seven decades ofexperience and over 60,000 hours of flight time. We'll use these decades of experience to give you valuable information to help you understand your fear and how to overcome it.
Reason two: I deal successfully with people's fears on a day to day basis as part of my job. As pilot, I am often called on to talk personally with fearful flyers and help them overcome their fears on the spot. Captain Al helps answer emails from fearful flyers when I'm out flying.
Reason three: We've isolated key "fear factors" and realize that lack of information and control issues are the real culprits-- fear is only a perception--a thought in your head. You created it--now let me show you how to demolish it. And control issues? They simply disolve when trust is established and I don't think you'll give it much thought after you hear what I have to say.
Here is a summary of the benefits you receive
1) You'll understand those previously unexplained noises and sensations present in every flight.
You will feel much more at ease once you understand what's causing each noise and sensation.
2) Actual questions from real fearful fliers are addressed.
Your personal demons will be explained and conquered. (If not, you'll be able to write to me directly and I'll try to help.)
3) Learn some basics of being a pilot.
You'll feel relief when you find out even some very basic piloting facts.
4) Learn the different causes of turbulence.
You'll understand why turbulence is almost always nothing to worry about.
5) Learn what happens to an airplane when lightning strikes.
You won't be white-knuckling it next time you're near a lightning storm.
6) Find out WHY you'll be so GLAD you're in your pilots' hands and not your own!
You will cease to feel helpless and start feeling secure and well cared-for instead, as you should.
7) Learn my #1 Secret to feeling more secure next time you fly!
Here's more information about exactly who I am and why we can tackle all these issues.
I am the author of the award-winning book "The World At My Feet" about how I got started in aviation, and I wrote a weekly travel column at www.usatoday.com/travel for almost two years (2004-2006). The name of my column was "Ask The Captain."
I am also the author of a newsletter which is free and accessible through my own website at www.fromthecockpit.com. This website currently gets over ONE MILLION hits every month from over 110 countries around the world.(!) I hope you'll take time out right now to visit my website if you're not familiar with it. (Don't miss my Photo Gallery!)
I am telling you all this to establish my credentials and create credibility with you. Because I am in contact with so many individuals worldwide, I have had THOUSANDS of inquiries from fearful flyers regarding all the things that bother them when they fly. I'm also in contact with many people who absolutely REFUSE to get on an airplane and when I started paying attention to their reasons why, I was amazed.
I am always surprised to hear what notions people dream up on their own when they simply don't know the truth. Of course, we know these notions are driven by fear. Once we've developed a fear, it is a very human reaction to dream up whatever we can to sustain that fear.
This is a popular one: "We definitely hit an air pocket and lost thousands of feet!" NOW HEAR THIS! THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS AN AIR POCKET IN OUR ATMOSPHERE! What these folks experienced was some form of turbulence and I'll wager maybe they lost 20-30 feet! I know because I've sat NEXT to passengers who made this claim.
I had NO IDEA there were no many misconceptions and myths floating around out there until I started communicating with people one-on-one around the world as a result of my "Ask The Captain" column.
The conclusion I have come to is that these fears people have about flying are very real to them, probably existing for years and merely validated by different events. I do not take these fears lightly; there is no question that fear prevents many people from living their lives to the fullest. Therefore:
I HAVE DECIDED TO DO SOMETHING TO HELP! IT'S MY NEW
"GROUND SCHOOL FOR PASSENGERS"
I have recorded almost two hours of information on CD's to address YOUR special needs. Over the last year, through my previous column at www.usatoday.com/travel "Ask The Captain" and through my own website www.fromthecockpit.com I've collected a tremendous number of concerns of nervous fliers and addressed virtually every "worry" that's ever been sent to me. In fact, my program is under constant revision as new questions and fears cross my path.
Some people may want to speak with me directly and I do offer private consultations. The fee is fixed at $250 (and also includes my Ground School for Passengers on CD and E-book) but we'll talk for as long as you need to (average session is around 90 minutes) Also included is unlimited email access to me so I can respond directly to any questions or concerns which come up. I receive literally thousands of emails each month, but I will give you a special address so you'll get a timely response. If you're about to fly and want to talk first, I'll be happy to talk with you again at no extra charge, and Cap'n Al will take over that function if I'm out flying. Write to me here if you're interested in a free consultation:

Don't take my word for it. Education DOES make a difference! Listen to some comments from some fearful flyers:
"As one of those flyers who grabs the armrest every time the plane jiggles or bounces, after spending two hours with Meryl Getline I am looking forward to my next flight anticipating a much more relaxed experience. She went through every topic that terrifies us fearful ones and replaced the fear with knowledge and understanding, and trust. It was worth every penny."
Connie Nelson Fremont, CA
"Cap'n Meryl's course is a down to earth education on the safety of flying. She answers the myths and "What if's" that fearful flyers often have and replaces them with the facts. Her lifelong passion for flying and her experience as a Airline Captain gives her instant credibility. If you are the fearful flyer you will benefit from this course."
Steven Hill Irvine, California
"I have taken Cap'n Meryl's course on fear of flying recently. I have been flying for years, have nearly 2 million miles under my belt but even so, I am still uncomfortable at times while in the air. I suffer from thinking I know too much about what happens from sounds and turbulence and lack of pilot communication. The session with Meryl gave me "the facts" and helped me to understand the thought processes the crew goes through. Cap'n Meryl was terrific and very comforting, not to mention, straightforward. I can't wait to test out my new-found confidence on my trip to India in a few weeks."
Karen Wira Louisville, KY
"Even though my sister is an airline attendant, I am a white-knuckle flyer. Your phone seminar explained away a lot of my pre-conceived fears that I know will be helpful the next time I fly. Your knowledgeable presentation was easy to understand. Thanks for creating this opportunity."
Amy Baach Louisville, KY
Other Comments:
"Just hearing you talk about your love of flying helped me get over my fear."
"I printed your pages (from your personal emails to me) regarding turbulence and took them along with me on my last flight--I can't begin to tell you how much it helped."
"I flew last week for the first time after being "grounded" for over ten years. Your explanations of all the things that used to scare me cured this fearful flyer!"
"Your enthusiasm, knowledge and genuine concern for us scaredy-cats really comes through. My husband is ecstatic that we're finally taking that vacation!"
"I attended my 40th high school reunion last week on the opposite coast. Until I talked to you, I was afraid to fly to get there. That's why I missed my 10th, 20th and 30th! Thanks a million!"
Warning: Do NOT order "Cap'n Meryl's "Ground School for Passengers" unless you meet the following 3 criteria:
You must rid yourself of this fear for YOU, and not for your husband, mother, child, dog, colleague or anyone else.
Your ability to trust is imperative. You MUST be able to place well-founded trust (NOT blind trust) in another human being. If you've never trusted anyone and feel you can't, this course may not be for you.
If you feel you are truly phobic and in need of psychological help, please contact me directly and I'll give you a referral. Write to me at: Put "Phobia" in the subject to make sure I see it.
In summary, here's what you get:
A two-CD set packed with information designed to educate you about all the things that make you anxious or out-and-out scare you (and many other flyers) every time you get on an airplane or even think about getting on an airplane.
My Ebook which normally sells separately for $24.95
You'll learn helpful and useful techniques for getting your breathing under control if you're subject to hyperventilation.
You'll get information to help you overcome your lack of knowledge--a very specific cause of fear, and why fear of flying happens to be one of the EASIEST phobias to overcome.
You will recover your self-respect and self-esteem. Both will skyrocket when you meet your fear head-on and conquer it! You and I both know if you're one of the many fliers who hides their fear it causes even MORE stress.
You'll save money, time and at the very least--STRESS--when you finally understand the "mystery" sights, sounds, smells and sensations of flight.
