Passengers 'Flying Without Fear' Thanks to Virgin iPhone App (Switched)
Nov 4th 2009 4:53PM First, I'm both an airline captain and a licensed therapist. I've worked for twenty-eight years to help thousands of people deal with fear of flying.
This "app" is the same old stuff used at Pan Am in its course started in 1975 in a new wr-APP-er.
It didn't work then - except for the mildest of cases - and it doesn't work now.
The basis for the course, breathing exercises which - though useful on the ground - are useless for fear of flying in the air. The people who put this app together didn't even bother to check the research which is at: http://pn.psychiatryonline.org/cgi/content/full/42/13/25
There are programs that offer effective advanced help for fearful flyers. Unfortunately, this is not one.
