It's a good read for someone considering a career in aviation. It gives a good description for what is potentially out there, even today, so that the new [professional] pilot knows what to watch out for. It's much easier to spot a shady operator when you know what direction to look if not completely what exactly to look for.

Very familiar. Have experienced it hundreds of times in Mexico and SJU and from Hawaii to Mykonos to Bali. I actually like island time. S But that jack wipe said Hispanics allow crap other cultures don't. Assuming he doesn't mean trivial stuff, I'm calling him out for being a jackass.

And how many times do Hispanics get ripped off here because they can't speak the language? Think before you type.

Sorry, I meant to say I'm pretty sure you didn't write it.

He couldn't hack it.

Good Luck.
Basically sums the whole book up.

Notice I said FLUENTLY.
I freaking hate SJU and I try to avoid any trips to that hole by any way, shape, or form.

Been there done that and probably way more than you have.
