Don't worry about your tray table and seat back for this one. Forget what you've been told about the romantic notion of the airline business. It's not like what you've seen in the movies. Buckle your seat belt and join Captain Kimber C. Turner for a flight over a thirty year career of ups and downs in aviation. This story of his love/hate life in airplanes will take you from laughter to livid and back again. Kimber C. Turner is a retired airline pilot with over 18,000 hours of flight time, and a former radio talk show host. Now he is out of the sky and off of the air. In his retirement, Captain Turner does some voice over work and an occasional guest spot on the radio. He also writes a book now and then.

Well written with details that aren’t learned anywhere else. And a story that keeps the listener interested.

Good career example.

I normally don't get short books with Audible
but this time I did, and I found the book very entertaining. I am a pilot and the aviation aspect of it was excellent.

excellent book

Was hoping for an eye-opening look at nighttime aviation. Instead, minimal good pilot stories, but lots of complaining about management, which was really boring.

No personal stories, minimal flying stories and barely a word about the successful freight airlines, FedEx and UPS.

Short, mostly boring and , yet another case of a good narrator saving a not-great story.

Not Real Interesting

If you have the slightest interest in aviation you ought to read this. A truly wonderful story.

Aviation enthusiasts must get this.

Any one of us could’ve written the same book about our own work experiences. This is mostly a litany of grievances against incompetent managers and bosses with some explanations about the job of freight pilot thrown in. I don’t disagree that we all have these same types of experiences but why relive someone else’s story when we all have our own?

Could have been longer. There were several areas where more detail would have been nice. A great read nonetheless.

A good quick read.
