I thought this was also an interesting POD CAST on keeping the cockpit professional in all aspects.
"What you care about may predict if you'll crash".

A study of moral psychology. Do you care about the "pressure" of not screwing up the landing/take off's for others at a major event like KOSH? Or, are you strictly concerned with landing/take off of your OWN plane without regard to making other folks "wait"? Are you more concerned with getting their on time, or being pressured by your passengers to arrive on time? Are you thinking of how you can please someone else to the point where you are less concerned about the flight risk factors?
Something to think about when on a trip with your auto as well! Do you take uneccessary risks to "please" somebody or meet that deadline? Late for work, leads to taking more risk? Do you HAVE to beat that Mustang? The study showed those who were more focused on professional conduct in the cockpit and less focused on passengers, deadlines, frieght timing, etc. etc. were less likely to crash.
This could also apply to tower control, their already under a LOT of pressure with people waiting for clearance.
Sometimes it's not easy to deal with that passenger who is pressurizing you to hurry up, or the inconvience you may cause others by playing it safe.
