I've had two very late nights franticly trying to finish the book.
Extremely revealing book for those outside of the industry and a MUST for any budding pilot as is Handling the Big Jets on the technical side.
Sadly there is nothing that I haven't experienced in my career except that John and a substantial number of 49ers had the inflated genitalia to take the bullies on.
He touches on the tips of several icebergs re safety, maintenance, fatigue and health problems in the industry.
The lack of loyalty he mentions I have seen many times with mates screwing each other for a short term gain which invariably explodes in their faces and ALWAYS ends to the eventual detriment of themselves, the company and the passengers.
Can't recommend it highly enough.
Well done.
