Description

A New York Times bestseller

For millions of people, shuttle by air is a confounding, uncomfortable, and even fearful experience. Patrick Smith, airline pilot and writer of the web’s popular Ask the Pilot feature, separates the fact from fallacy and tells you the whole thing you want to know…

•How planes fly, and a revealing look at the women and men who fly them
•Straight talk on turbulence, pilot training, and safety
•The real story on congestion, delays, and the dysfunction of the modern airport
•The myths and misconceptions of cabin air and cockpit automation
•Terrorism in viewpoint, and a provocative look at security
•Airfares, seating woes, and the pitfalls of airline customer service
•The colors and cultures of the airlines we love to hate

Cockpit Confidential covers not only the nuts and bolts of flying, but also the grand theater of air shuttle, from airport architecture to inflight service to the excitement of shuttle in another country. It is a thoughtful, funny, from time to time deeply personal look into the atypical and misunderstood world of commercial flying.

It’s the ideal book for frequent flyers, nervous passengers, and global travelers.

Refreshed and vastly expanded from the original Ask the Pilot, with approximately 75 percent new material.
