Listen to the original audio · Transcribed with NVIDIA Parakeet · Timestamps stay in sync with the live audio
When you're sitting at the gate and you're getting ready to board a plane, do you have that moment where you think, I'm putting my life in someone else's hands? I do. This is just a habit of mine because my oldest brother was a an Air Force pilot and I've always been in awe because I have none of the technical, mechanical, or optic skills. Reaction time, none.
I have none of those abilities. I'm with you. I've been around the industry for 30 years and still when I see it at the gate or whatever, I'm like, okay, I know the team. I'm putting my life in their hands and I'm trusting them. And that still goes through my head.
It's not that I'm nervous. It's just that It's what we do. People think about the pilots. Some people see the control tower.
