Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)None of the previous reviews of this book appear to be by fellow airline pilots - this one is. I suppose that airline pilots really don't need to read books like this to know the answers to the questions that Mr. Smith answers.
I happened to stumble across this book at a local bricks and mortar bookstore on the way to a comfy chair loaded with coffee and some other titles. Seeing Ask a Pilot on the shelves, I grabbed it for a quick skim. What was meant as a quick skim turned into a relatively thorough read.
I am an airline pilot with almost 20 years of working for the airlines. Although I might quibble about some points here and there, the book was very accurate. Never once did I find myself uttering the cattle by- product expletive. I did find myself silently chuckling and nodding my head several times.
The book is written as a question and answer format, with the answer to each question being essentially a small essay. The questions vary from airline safety, pilot pay, interaction between flight attendants and pilots, and technical aspects.
If you are looking for a shocking expose on the airlines - look elseware. On the other hand, this is no airline puff-piece.
Mr. Smith is a good writer. The book is witty, accurate, and engaging. There are so many misconceptions about so many aspects of the airline industry, it is refreshing to see a book that deals with them with accuracy and style.
