Brook Black's writing reads with a good dose of humor and information. It is at once highly detailed and exciting. Does That Mean I Fail? is sure to both entertain and enlighten.

Includes updated information and pictures.* If you have ever had the urge to look up to the sky when you hear an airplane flying over, this book if for you. Some people have the unquenchable desire to kiss the sky, but often the roadmap of getting there is vague to say the very least. This short guide is intended to help clear this up, as well as enlighten those interested in flying to many of the nuances of the craft. Whether you intend to fly for a career or fly for pleasure, the guide will help walk you through all the various options of licensing, the stepping stones that must be followed to be a viable candidate in the workforce, and what to look for in a flight school and instructor. Furthermore, it goes into what exactly a student pilot can and should expect throughout their journey of flight, all through the eyes of someone who has been there. This book goes behind the scenes into less traveled territories and explains in plain language the benefits of different routes into the left-seat of an airliner, a marquee job. These include all the different branches of military service, with strengths and weaknesses of each; more traditional routes like flight instructing into a regional airline seat, and even aerial applicating! Wherever you want your future in aviation to take you, this is a great place to start. Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University’s Book Review: https://goo.gl/Ryxs8N

Book Synopsis Pilots On Food Stamps by : Ben Mandell
Download or read book Pilots On Food Stamps written by Ben Mandell and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Incredible!" you might say, "Pilots qualifying for food stamps. Surely you must be joking!"We see airline pilots in their pressed suits and crisp shirts as they walk through the airport terminals, hear their calm, friendly voices informing passengers of flight time and weather conditions on the plane and assume they are making six figure salaries, or somewhere close to that.Wrong, wrong, wrong!This book is a true to life account of the current pilot crisis facing the nation; its origin, the current status and what needs to be done to fix this problem.If your Physician put in six to eight years of medical education, training and internship in order to provide you with the best, up to date medical care, would you expect him or her to be paid less than that of a fast food worker with much less training?Would it be fair if the physician's salary was calculated only on the actual time he or she was in the office or in surgery with the patient, without taking into consideration the doctor's time spent on patient telephone calls, availability for the times on standby when the doctor was "on call", travel to and from the clinic, hospital or office as well as supervisory and administrative duties?Why should a pilot only get paid for his or her actual flight time?Is it fair for airline passengers to have their flights canceled and planes grounded because there are not enough qualified pilots?As we read this book we must ask ourselves if we will garner the political will to demand better wages for our pilots and if we will hold our elected officials accountable for ensuring adequate airline and passenger safety. And then we must act to make sure the job gets done.A Must Read!
