Default Re: Flying The Line - Vol. 1 and Vol. 2

Hard to believe any pilot would find these books dry...they are incredibly important to understand if you want to know how the industry got where it is today.

And if you can't see and appreciate the repetitive attempts by managment to undermine pilot wages/benefits, then you really are obtuse. E.L. Cord to Frank Lorenzo, the story is the same every single time. And the reliance of "Cliff Notes" indicates intellectual laziness. If you can't appreciate the importance of this history to give it the attention and time it takes to read the volumes for comprehension, I weep for the future of the piloting profession.

"Those who will not learn from history are doomed to repeat it."
