Goodness me don't we have some prima donnas on this board? What a waste of data throwing tantrums against someone gently showing a complete newbie how to correctly post, in the right place, without needing to use capitals, and moreover, how to answer his own question! Dare I say I have been rather busy flying to Australia and now, I have a small window to catch up on pprune from a sunny (and cold) Ozland? What's this crud about French jails? They're worse than a bunch of gossiping 20 year old stewardesses! When I see 'censored' on someone's post here, it makes me think perhaps Clogmeister had better clue himself up on the latest firm rules of Pprune, and precisely what is your qualification Clogmeister) to pontificate so? (Decency please!)
So, to stop wasting bandwidth and get back to the subject:
no job offers, but after 17 years flying 747s of 3 models, I can say that the book is enthralling. I believe it is almost completely relevant to modern day aircraft- instrumentation doesn't change what the book is about. It is written so a well educated layman or a flyer of smaller aeroplanes can follow and appreciate the differences. I think you will enjoy his inspired writing and see why people are still talking about the book after over 30 years.
