For millions of people, travel by air is a confounding,
uncomfortable, and even fearful experience. Patrick Smith,
airline pilot and author of the web's popular Ask the
Pilot feature, separates the fact from fallacy and
tells you everything you need to know... •How planes
fly, and a revealing look at the men and women 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 perspective, 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 travel, from airport architecture to
inflight service to the excitement of travel abroad. It's a
thoughtful, funny, at times deeply personal look into the
strange and misunderstood world of commercial
flying. The ideal book for frequent flyers, nervous
passengers, and global travelers. Refreshed and vastly
expanding from the original Ask the Pilot, with
approximately 75 percent new material.
