For me the cure came from the sense of control provided by knowing everything that was going on the plane. All the sounds, sensations, and movements I put a what and why too. That and the literal control I get from being one of the people responsible for keeping that pile of parts in the air. It's some small comfort to think that if I'm ever in an crash, I could've done something about it rather then having died through no fault or inaction of my own.

Also it gives me something to do other then sitting in an airport terminal because the plane is delayed due to maintenance issues.

Yes, I can see how that would give you a better feeling. But I don't have your expertise so for me it feels like I'm giving over control over my life to people who presumably know what they are doing. Which is fine as long as that picture gets reinforced but it breaks when you get evidence to the contrary.

I don't know if this will make you feel better or worse, but it's come rather apparent these days that the person in row 0,regardless of their skill, is pretty much the least reliable part of the system.
