Non-"Screamers"

Yesterday I talked about Jay Lowry and his podcast comments about maintaining a calm voice during radio transmission. 

Well, here's the ultimate example of that: Captain Chesley Sullenberger, at the wheel of an Airbus A320 with both engines gone, 155 souls on board and his own ass on the line. 

Cool. As. Ice. 

Screamers

Jay Lowry has great thoughts on maintaining a calm voice in radio transmissions. (At about 10 minutes into the podcast.)

I comment: OUTSTANDING comments on maintaining a calm voice in radio transmissions. Couldn't agree more. Whether you're rolling up first on-scene, or in command, a calm voice on the radio creates a positive feedback loop. Even if you don't feel calm, if you sound calm on the radio, those responding are more likely to react that way--and so will you as things run smoothly.
