DESCRIPTION:
The meteor impact of free enterprise consigned the slow to adapt dino-airlines to the deep, and shortly thereafter, market forces started this luge run to the cost bottom. Consume with care to avoid burning yourself or anyone who's not properly insulated. And see what it tastes like!!(chicken)I will share this glory with you few, you happy few. Make a little lemonade. Waiting will drive you bat shit crazy if you can’t come to terms with it. There is silly in this job. But this glory is a class 8 corrosive substance under 49CFR Part 172. The unforgiving task of being an Airline Pilot is a bathysphere of seriousness adrift in a jelloy sea of absurdity. Waiting for the plane to show up. Ruthless mocking of passengers, pilots and anyone deserving and within visual range."What a great read! I totally enjoyed this book!" - The Author.The heady burden of being a Sky King re
Hilarious I started reading this on an overnight. I had tears in my eyes I was laughing so hard, and I was only through a few stories. I read another section on a deadhead. The flight attendants wanted to know if I would share the joke. I let them read a section. They enjoyed it as well.If you want to read about the golden days of airline flying, before deregulation, bankruptcies, and other hits to the industry, read Ernest Gann. If you want. A Commercial Pilot tells all - William Howard Coffee came out of my nose.Pilot X (and I think I know who you are, DEAN!) has put on paper the story of every pilot that picked up a Jepp Bag, and walked down the jetway to take a hundred or two passengers and crew to 'somewhere else' in a way that will tickle your fancy.Want the truth, but want it FUNNY? This is the place - there's no other place like this anywhere near this place, so THIS must be the PLACE!Com'on Pilot X - keep . Enjoyable! J Not a literary masterpiece, but I certainly enjoyed reading this book. There were more spacing and grammatical errors than I would have expected, but not bad enough to put it down. A bit over the top occasionally with his use of similes.As a pilot, I could really relate to pilot X, but whether you're in the aviation industry or not, it's a quick and entertaining read. Read some great stories of what your crew does before and after
