Absolutely first class reference: "Fly the Wing" Third Edition By: Jim Webb, formerly a captain with Eastern Airlines, and William D Walker. Blackwell Publishing. Ordered a copy on-line for my Xmas present to myself:
http://www.blackwellpublishing.com/...13808545&site=1

The new third edition (it is dated 2004) comes with a companion CD-ROM, which has the Jetblue A320 Flight Crew Operations Manual and the Honeywell Pegasus Flight Systems Pilot Guide for the A330/340/318-321. Some really interesting stuff - I'm deep into the examples and graphs to determine optimum fuel tankering - the graphs allow you to determine the optimum fuel quantity to be tankered as a function of the fuel price ratio between departure and destination airports, flight level, aircraft takeoff weight, and the air distance to fly. Some great stuff at the ATPL/CPL level. Not well written. Straight from the horse's mouth. Excellent. Unbeatable for the A320 driver.
