Big Wave Publications has published a brand new book entitled 'So You Want To Be An Airline Pilot?' (ISBN 978-981-08-0812-9) by Nick Johnstone. An hilarious take on his path to becoming an Airline Captain. Even better, proceeds from the sale go to the cancer charity - The Suzy Connor Challenge.

In 'So You Want to be an Airline Pilot?', the author traverses five continents doing as little as possible before finally scraping together enough cash to begin the serious business of flight training. He describes those global ramblings here, then takes the lid off one 'self-improvers' route to an airline command. And you go with him from a private pilot's licence in the UK, flight instructing in the USA, charter, aid and relief work in Zanzibar and Kenya, regional airline flying in Australia's 'top-end' and onto shiny new jets in Europe and the Far East.

'So You Want to be an Airline Pilot?' is funny, non technical and already generating immense interest within the pilot fraternity, amongst pilot 'wannabes' and the general public alike thanks to its diverse geographical background and the author's ability to explore unrelated issues, yet keep them within the framework of the book.

Being a great deal larger than the aforementioned ‘Herking great Fuckulies’ (the four engined Hercules transport) the majesty of this gargantuan monster was overwhelming and actually a little scary as it glided just inches beneath my modest craft. I could imagine the pilot trying to wipe clean a spot on his windshield, only to discover it was me, in a one-fifty, hoping to God my food mixer of a motor up front didn’t start coughing at the wrong moment. With a C-5 in the pattern at Bristol, I would not have been allowed to push my aeroplane out of the hangar, let alone play ‘touch’ with it over a nuclear air force base.

I was going to like it here.
