"Handling the big jets" was one of the most informative books I have read about obscure questions that weren't addressed elsewhere. Things like low speed mach buffet at altitude puzzled me until I read that book. I was flying a Lockheed Jetstar then, not in the airline group that gets all the training, so you had to train yourself. Found out that the airline training isn't that deep so am happy I learned it then.

Knowledge is every pilots responsibility. Don't expect the airline training program with their cost analysis team to teach you more than what is required to be legal. Sully didn't do what he did by airline training, he did it himself.
