This is an interesting read that will destroy once and for all the myth of the all wise and knowing pilot but in is place is an  honest look at a job that is over stressed and has the potential to kill a lot of people due that stress. Garrison's irreverent look at a profession he obviously loves is more relevant than ever given the cattle call that consumer air travel has become. If a reader is uneasy about flying, then you best avoid this book before taking off into the wild blue yonder. If, however, you understand that airlines now exist mostly for employing accounting rather than flying, this is the book for you.
