Whom do I under appreciate? On a day of traveling by air, I’m immediately reminded of so many people that I might overlook. At first I think of the pilots whose experience, skill, training, and sometimes courage, gets me to my destination safely, flying through zero visibility, nightfall and seemingly unidentifiable sky, and getting me there at nearly the exact minute promised.
But then I think of the mechanics without whom the plane would never even start, or worse, would get in the air before falling apart. And the people who built the plane with exact consistency so that it is capable of doing what it’s supposed to, to its fullest poten
tial.
Then there are the people who designed the plane, testing their conclusions both by computer, then by actually flying their designs. But no plane could get from point A to point B without the thousands of people who operate the air traffic control system, keeping every plane in the country safe and en route.
People who cleaned my plane, people who put refreshments on it, the people who will serve it to me. Lots and lots of people whom we take for granted and under appreciate, even though we voluntarily trust our lives to them every time we board a plane. Thank you for taking care of me.
