Description: The book paints a detailed picture of commercial pilot lifestyle, from the struggle to pay for training to time spent down route to thoughts of retirement. Once a glamorous occupation, commercial flying is today more of a job than a vocation. Many pilots work the maximum permissible hours for increasingly meagre rewards under stressful conditions.
Review Quotes: I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to understand what our 'glamorous' way of life is really like; to the regulators and politicians who dictate the rules; and to any aspiring young hopefuls wanting to join what was once a fulfilling career.
