| Q. | Should i pursue a career in commercial aviation? | Related Search: Aircraft | | | I have a BS in MIS and have always had a passion for flight. I had even been in Aviation Management in college taking flight lessons until an illness dashed the dreams and I went to the computers. I have since had surgery to take care of the illness, I am 31 and am longing to having flight be my profession. I am about to get married in a few months, my fiancee supports me full heartedly but I am not sure if I should pursue it or not at this point. Any advice?
| | A. | Initial impression: it may be a tad late to start the journey toward the left seat in commercial aviation, i.e. airlines. There are other forms of commercial aviation that could be open such as flying for a company that may own a plane or two for their own company use. Better get started now. By the time you plow your way through the training military aviators will have finished their active duty and be looking for civilian aviation jobs. It will be tough sledding against them for obvious reasons. | | | |

| Q. | What are some good books on commercial aviation history? | Related Search: Aircraft | | | I'm particularly interested in how the growth of air travel has changed American culture. My favorite book on the subject was Joe Sutter's book on the development of the 747.
So, if anyone knows of similar books, I'd love to hear about them.
Thanks

Is the safety factor over-stated?
