Cool, maybe that book will inspire some of the next generation to become a pilot.

Exactly. Read the back cover.

I hear a lot of same BS from the usual crowd about "diversity hires" and the quality of our new pilots. Well here you have it, diversity done right. Dude is just trying to be a role model to young black kids and trying to get more people interested in this profession.

Now, if you fly with him and he happens to be a douche then ok, roast him as an individual


On the book, I willing to bet none of us have read it. We don't know if he takes credit for every aspect of his success. If he's humble enough to acknowledge forces outside our individual control or the influence of other people in our success. So, holding off on judging the book.

Oh, look who's back. The 9E pilot who pretends he works at Delta for trolling purposes. Overqualified 52's second account.

Suuuure you're upgrading next month. Based on when you previously claimed you flowed, your story doesn't check out. Nobody from that seniority level has upgraded in a long time.

This is nothing but weak trolling. If you want to stir the pot with the DEI hiring thing, you could at least be more direct about it. Try to make it entertaining at least. Do better.

I'll reserve judgement, but that being said, to go from only being able to fly 121 ops for 6 years and be a widebody Captain at Delta before 30 is phenomenal. Hopefully his book is one of fun an I aspiration and not one of long duration struggle, especially when one considers the generation that went through 9-11, furloughs, bankruptcy, stuck in right seat for over a decade, oh and don't forget being stuck in a maddog (couldn't resist), not to mention lost pensions, lost wages, sent back to regional etc. I've flown for over 40 years and I've met some incredible pilots, with incredible backgrounds and stories to tell. Hopefully his will be a good one, minimizing the struggle, but embracing the journey.

Sadly, you own book career is likely on hold until you learn how to spell “skies”

This is uncanny. I had the exact same thoughts.

Ha? Ain't me dude . I was hired back in early 90's . We had no DEI , Wokeness or weird use of pronouns back then, LOL. It was just every person for themselves. I don't pretend to be any pilot for another airline or troll , I just enjoy the conversation on all the forums. I'm old school, tail end of the baby boomers.

yikes
Can you imagine being a grown adult and so insecure that you knock a book youve never read?

it’s amazing how people can so confidently judge others when they haven’t walked in said shoes, whilst simultaneously crying to the world how people should empathize with their own situation.

you sir, live up to your name
