Anti-authority: \u201cDon\u2019t tell me.\u201d<\/strong> This attitude is found in people who do not like anyone telling them what to do. In a sense, they are saying, \u201cNo one can tell me what to do.\u201d They may be resentful of having someone tell them what to do or may regard rules, regulations, and procedures as silly or unnecessary. However, it is always your prerogative to question authority if you feel it is in error.\u00a0 Antidote – Follow the rules. They are usually right.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Impulsivity: \u201cDo it quickly.\u201d<\/strong> This is the attitude of people who frequently feel the need to do something, anything, immediately. They do not stop to think about what they are about to do, they do not select the best alternative, and they do the first thing that comes to mind.\u00a0 Antidote – Not so fast. Think first.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Invulnerability: \u201cIt won\u2019t happen to me.\u201d<\/strong> Many people falsely believe that accidents happen to others, but never to them. They know accidents can happen, and they know that anyone can be affected. However, they never really feel or believe that they will be personally involved. Pilots who think
\nthis way are more likely to take chances and increase risk.\u00a0 Antidote – It could happen to me.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Macho: \u201cI can do it.\u201d<\/strong> Pilots who are always trying to prove that they are better than anyone else think, \u201cI can do it\u2014I’ll show them.\u201d Pilots with this type of attitude will try to prove themselves by taking risks in order to impress others. While this pattern is thought to be a male characteristic, women are equally susceptible. Antidote – Taking chances is foolish.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Resignation: \u201cWhat\u2019s the use?\u201d<\/strong> Pilots who think, \u201cWhat\u2019s the use?\u201d do not see themselves as being able to make a great deal of difference in what happens to them. When things go well, the pilot is apt to think that it is good luck. When things go badly, the pilot may feel that someone is out to get them or attribute it to bad luck. The pilot will leave the action to others, for
\nbetter or worse. Sometimes, such pilots will even go along with unreasonable requests just to be a “nice guy.”\u00a0 Antidote – I\u2019m not helpless. I can make a difference.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
