September 28, 201510 yr Squak 7700 An aviation autobiography by Peter Buffington. Takes the bling out of airline glamor. From false job hopes from aviation universities after your $$$ to small time night freight operations to a regional airline Hades. Sub human wages and personal treatment to match. Chances of a stable family life slim to nil. Any youngsters with airline dreams should read this. I read one pilots advice in a fourm to an aspiring youth once. He said to spend that money on Med School instead, then you can aford to fly your own plane all you want. Vic green
