Let's be careful

David,
 
I think your concerns are valid.  The increase in near-misses often  seems to 
herald the coming of a more serious incident.
 
I would echo your sentiments for everyone out there to be extra  vigilant.  
Promise your wife, husband, kids, cat, dog or whatever that you  will come home 
at the end of your shift. 
 
Fly Safely, Live Safety!

Growing  up in California, I was used to feeling little tremblors - small 
earthquakes -  that the old folks would tell you meant a big one was coming.  
Most times  the old folks were wrong, but right after a big one, we would be 
reminded that  little shakes had been occurring for a few days or weeks before.

Over  the last couple of days, we have issued a flurry of CONCERN bulletins 
for  relatively minor events.  When Roseann Krantz and I were taking care of  
the network together, we noticed that a burst of activity like this could  
presage a fatal crash.  As the number of bulletins mounted, we would each  take a 
deep breath and wonder what was going to happen.  Sometimes we  were wrong.

I'm feeling little shakes right now.  Do they mean  anything?  I can't say.  
It probably isn't entirely rationale to  post my feelings like this.

However, to humor me, would everyone please  take some extra time right now 
to insure you are doing it right?  Rethink  your weather, recheck your lists, 
slow your pace a bit, and keep your eyes and  ears open.  Paranoia is not the 
answer, but a healthy respect for hazards  never hurts.  Assuming you are safe 
is not the same as insuring you are  safe.

I'll be keeping my ear the ground, listening for more little  shakes.
