Flutter Until You Fly

When he was six years old he declared to the hearing of some friends: I want to be a pilot when I grow up and it generated mocking laughter from them. The laughter became louder when at the end of sixth grade his father lost his job and life went further downhill. From his family couch surfing in the neighbourhood for about seven years to having to cook and hawk kenkey gari and bake bread as a secondary school student he kept going. He took the A Levels twice and performed poorly disqualifying him from joining the air force even though he passed the army's assessments twice. In Flutter Until You Fly Captain Solomon Quainoo shares how he overcame these stumbling blocks and more worked 17-hour days as a labourer cleaner pizza delivery guy and traffic warden to still become a captain of the world's biggest passenger aircraft.
