The world from a jumbo perspective. The journey there is described by a man from the mountains who has climbed the career ladder to become a Boeing 747 captain with minimal effort. This is not a rags-to-riches story, but rather proof that anyone can achieve anything. In the easily readable chapters, he also uncovers issues in aviation (flight safety) and shares his views on the increasingly paranoid environmental debates. Conclusion: Since the author has flown over 13,000 flight hours at speeds of nearly a thousand kilometers per hour, he knows that the world is vast and far healthier than self-proclaimed experts repeatedly claim. This book answers the most important questions that you, as a passenger, need to know to ease your fear of flying.
