I flew with John many years ago. Old school which meant didn't take SH1t which was a good thing at times but also a steep authority gradient, so he has never been my 'cup-of-tea'. However I am half way though the book and think it is excellent and hard to put down. Well written and having lived through the cr#p of the 90's and into 1999 and 2001+ I find it interesting and acurate as to the facts. I was angry at the time as to how the company treated us and also unhappy with the AOA leadership on occasion but I would like to say well done to John for this book and a good record of stressful times.
