The Solution
Now there is a solution.
This solution is different from all the things you have already tried and discharged.
fightJetlag is so much more than a pill to pop.
fightJetlag is different.
Successful implementation requires training
What do I have to do for it?
You have do develop your own judgement!
Doesn't that sound familiar from your pilot training?
You ARE a professional in terms of judgement already!
There is one essential difference:
You are used to make your decision based on OUTSIDE evidence.
Now you need to learn to make your decisions based on INSIDE evidence!
The power of success of fightJetlag is
- individualization,
- understanding you systems
- identifying your needs
Based on this evidence you will make your decision, you will take action.
Related to a flight and an aircraft you can refer to POH and company procedures.
Related to your own systems you will have to write your own POH and apply it, follow it.
This requires training, training in the use of fightJetlag!
