Thank you I appreciate the insight. Makes me feel a little less nervous. I bought the Handling the Big Jets book and I'm super happy with it. Great book!

That's the one! I wonder if they've gone out of business. No website and their facebook hasn't been updated since 2010. Either way, I will take TSRA's great advice and save my money.
