Tidying up before the year turns its page, the five bad attitudes of aviation rear up:
Resignation; "What's the use?"
Invulnerability; "It won't happen to me."
Impulsivity; "Do something quickly!"
Macho; "I can do it."
Antiauthority; "Don't tell me!" (how to live my life).
And of course, like snake venom, there is an antidote to each bite of bad attitude. The first antidote is acceptable; "I'm not helpless. I can make a difference."
But I don't like the last four;
"It could happen to me."
"Not so fast. Think first."
"Taking chances is foolish."
"Follow the rules. They are usually right."
