The past and future of airline safety--a memoir of
successes, crashes, and near-misses--by a former pilot and
FAA inspector. Boarding an airplane strikes at least a small sense of fear
into most people. Even though we all have heard that the
odds of being struck by lightning are greater than the odds
of perishing in a plane crash, it still doesn't feel that
way. Airplane crashes might be rare, but they do happen, and
they're usually fatal. David Soucie insists that most of
these deaths could be prevented. He's worked in the cockpit, on the hanger floor, within the
aviation boardroom, and inside the Washington D.C.
beltway. He's seen death up close and personal--deaths
of colleagues and friends that might have been pre-vented if
he had approved certain safety measures in the aircrafts
they were handling. His years of experience have led Dave to
become an impassioned consultant on the topic of air-line
safety. This includes not only advising the Obama
administration, but also taking a leading role in the
congressionally funded NextGen interdepartmental initiative
to examine the challenges of aviation in the near future,
not only for the Deptment of Transportation, but also for
the Departments of Defense, Homeland Security,
NASA, and the Office of National Intelligence. Find out
the truth about airplane safety and discover what the future
holds for air travel.
