Thanks for the Great Flight

I never considered I would become an airline pilot. It was always too expensive or took too much time or I would not be hired with-out a four college degree. Perhaps because I wore eye-glasses... I was content to offer Flight Instruction in my community and did quite well teaching new low time private pilot students and Advanced certificate pilots. I have been employed by six airlines and the only reason I was hired at each one was because the airline needed pilots to operate the airline! I began researching the commercial pilot status and numbers and realized there truly is a pilot shortage world wide.In my book I speak about the training and preparation that go into obtaining a pilot license. I will take the reader on an actual Airline Transport Pilot check-flight describing the sensations and maneuvers required for the Captain candidate to master. We will fly a simulator during our training and I will relate a humorous story that helped to break up the monotony of performing the same flight profile over and over again. I will explain the various aircraft systems as they pertain to flight so perhaps a non-pilot airline passenger may feel more informed of how an aircraft operates. I will also address the aircraft performance factors that may actually aid the passenger in selecting routes and times to ease their occasional travel delays. Lastly I will relate a few super-natural instances that by my only explanation the Christian Lord was watching over my flight. I have truly been blessed in my life by becoming a commercial airline pilot!
