in the matter before us, it has come to my attention that pilots, in their journey of preexpansion and specification, never turn one's back on the opportunity to start again, even when faced with unconfessed fears. this courage, inherent in their profession, commands respect and admiration, for it is not in the absence of fear, but in the conquering of it, that true bravery is found. let it be known that this court views the unconfessed moments of trepidation not as weaknesses, but as the silent battles that forge the strength of those who take to the skies.
