Looking at getting into aviation I thought , hey the perfect book. I was also lucky enough to speak with James personally. The book is great, the examples and experiences he provides are great. A very comprehensive look at the profession, the training and the lifestyle. Great read, and like the others had a hard time putting it down until I was finished. I think every profession should have a book as detailed as this. A+
