To all prospective readers, and James Ball:I enjoyed reading this book so much that when I picked it up, I skipped meals, and didn’t put it down until it was read cover to cover. The information provided is well researched and Ball has done an excellent job delivering it in a concise non bias manner. I would recommend this book to all aspiring pilots and/or people already in the industry who want to be more knowledgeable of the ins and outs of Canadian aviation and training in the todays world. It’s very important that you know what you’re getting your self into, and this book portrays all aspects and information appropriately for you to make an informed decision. Being a pilot is cool, but it’s not for everyone, this book will assist you in that choice if it’s for you.I will reference this book for years to come. Thank you, Mr. Ball and the people involved with the book, for providing me with knowledge I would have otherwise had a difficult time acquiring. You are truly an inspiration and great contributor to Canadian Aviation.Good luck to Mr. Ball, and all Canadian pilots, on your future endeavors. I look forward to seeing you in the sky.Regards, M. Stubbs (MN)
