I agree on fear of the unknown, that's why I enjoy listening to channel 9 on UA, "United XXX, there will be some chop ahead..." and for the banter you'll sometimes hear, I even listen to ATC at the office. Also, watch a couple of the ITVV or videos they sell off flightmemory.com, you'll see the checks they do, safety precautions, as well as taking off w/ one engine (V1, VR, V2, etc), after that you'll prob be much more comfortable. Plus most of the pilots are former Air Force, etc pilots with thousands of hours, they do this for a job, so the experience they have is huge in comparison with experience I have flying E+.
