<b><i>In flight no one can hear you snore ...</i></b> John Reilly could be the pseudonym of any modern airline pilot. Fatigued from overwork and dismayed by relentless cost-cutting, Captain Reilly finds himself developing an unhelpful aversion to the very people who pay his salary: passengers and managers. Riding with the Captain on a typical flight, we watch as he struggles with the challenges facing today's airline pilot: staying awake, keeping crew food down, fending off flirtatious cabin crew and completing the crossword before landing. But, forced to work away from home, Captain Reilly encounters a new challenge: how to prevent his family life deteriorating faster than the once respected profession that still pays his bills. The Life of Captain Reilly is a shocking but hilarious insider tale of the modern airline that reveals the industry's greatest secret: glamour doesn't fly anymore. PLEASE NOTE: IF YOU HAVE A ROMANTICIZED PERCEPTION OF AIRLINE PILOTS AND COMMERCIAL AVIATION -- AND YOU WISH TO KEEP IT -- DON'T BUY THIS BOOK!
