In fact, just a little anecdote: we were sitting watching TV in the meal room of the STAR Group office, and there was a news briefing of a hijack of a plane in Indonesia, and they said they were going to fly the plane to either Perth or Adelaide. Everybody in our office started going, "Adelaide, Adelaide." Now, we know it's dangerous, we know it's high-risk, but we train for it, and we want to be able to use those skills. If you go into these things nervous, then you're not going to be at the high performance that you need to be.
