Awesome book. Highly encouraged reading for anyone entering the industry.
Written by an Eagle new hire back in '98 who got fed up with the conditions and low pay, and left the industry.
The part about his IOE in SJU on the ATR is an eye opening experience. I've talked to many ex SJU Eagle folks who immediately knew which IOE Captain it was.
Anyone else read it?

Oh yeah! It was a great book. A very good account of what to expect not at just a regional, but of all the hard work that is required to even get to that point.
I definitely recommend everyone to read it.
