for the passenger with know-how
There is extensive explanation of things that go wrong and what airlines do to solve the puzzle of getting passengers to their destinations as soon as possible. There is also a surprising reveal of pilot work-life that may lead you to consider that airline ticket choice more carefully.
a story about life
This isn't just a book about flying. It also relates a very personal story about loss, struggle, feelings of inadequacy, loneliness, hope and overcoming challenges in life and career. The question ultimately comes down to: what matters to you?
pilots & flying enthusiasts can relate
No doubt about it: planes are cool. This book reveals a select part of the aviation industry in detail but also relates the aspects of air travel that pilots and enthusiasts "get" without dumbing-down the language and technical parts. You'll read about flight training and crew challenges, too.

A "Pilot Guide" is included with the Table of Contents to direct you to the chapters and subjects you'll want to know before you interview and accept an airline job. Get a sense of the training and work before you walk in the door. Learn what to expect and you can be ahead of the other applicants.

我阅读了“Fly the Plane-飞行”那本书，书里的字里行间成功地描写了怎样成为美国飞机员的经历和他们飞行的生活，他们为实现成为飞机员的梦想而奋斗。他们实现了他们的梦想，自豪地飞行在碧蓝的天空，穿梭在浓厚的白云里，他们给予我们乗客们的安全，然而你知道有多少的艰辛和负出伴随着他们的梦想。谢谢，飞行员们！
(Translation: I read the book "Fly the Plane". The text successfully described how to become an American Pilot and their flying lives. They worked hard to realize their dream of becoming a pilot, flying proudly in the blue sky with the thick white clouds. They provide our passengers with safety but much hardship and burden accompany their dreams. Thanks, pilots!)
