Wow!

Never have I actually read a book cover to cover as I've done with this book. Granted, it starts out as an "eye opener", but the author does an excellent job talking about his exploits as a pilot and working his way up through the rigors of becoming a professional pilot.I think this book would be a fantastic look at those trying to "pay their dues" in the field of aviation. However it's very clearly written and the author goes through great lengths to explain some of the jargon and technical elements to the point that any person unfamiliar with flying can understand.Many parts of the book, I found myself thinking, "Hey, I thought that only happened to me!" and brings back many memories of working my way through the ranks of aviation. It also has some very good lessons, some lessons that I wished I had learned before I made the resulting mistakes.I would highly suggest this book to anyone interested in a career in aviation, or any person that has ever wondered how the guys on the other side of the cockpit door got to where they are.
