Whatever happened to that guy?

I guess the mystery lives

Are you talking about the guy who wrote the book in the late 1980's, or is there another one?

 

[SLUF4]

yeah that guy; i just now got around to reading it.

Stephen Keshner? I don't know if that was his real name, or not. I looked that name up in the FAA Pilot database, and no one by that name holds a valid medical certificate.

I read it about 20 years ago. How does it hold up today? worth re-reading?

Regards,
Ty

No . . . . . book from around 1988 detailing the shenannigans of crews at an unnamed airline.

I've only read the first chapter so far, but I think it's mostly a slam on deregulation. Not sure if it's the same guy, Dan. This book is called "Unfriendly Skies" but the cover looks similar to that other author's so maybe.

It's also a slam on pilots without "formal training"..... I have no idea what happened to the author....

I read that book a few years ago. The author seemed very impressed with himself.
