Handling the Big Jets by Davies is the bible for the Cathay interview. Aerodynamics for Naval Aviators is quite good, but very complex. FAA Airplane Flying Handbook, Aviation Weather, and Understanding Performance would be good as well.

Yeah, I'd say so. Just trying to help the guy out. He asked about books that will help him before he gets to a major.

So before he's pulling six figures and year and come crazy bizatch wants to take half his stuff and leave him with nothing, he can read a book about what he's in for before it happens.

also, I would recommend that you find something else that you can do to make a living that you like. if our economy goes Tango uniform again, you will need it. (something like your own business etc.)
