Great Book---Must Read
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
Anyone who is interested in airlines, airplanes, airports, anything aviation should read this book. I work for Delta, the airline Bob Reiss wrote about, and I learned things I didn't even know. Also any buff of the L-1011 aircraft (the best first class I ever rode in) would love this. Get this book!!! Pay what you have to, but get this book.
Fascinating!

A friend recommend this book to me because I fly Delta Airlines frequently. I picked it up in a bookstore and started reading it on an airplane. This is a fascinating story of Delta Airlines and a Lockheed L1011 aircraft. The author spends three days with the aircraft, flying where ever it does. Along the way, he meets pilots, flight attendants, mechanics, air traffic controllers, gate agents, baggage handlers, and passengers. You would think this would be a big yawn, but it is an engaging and well written book. If you can find a copy, this is a must read.
