IOver all, this is a fairly decent book but there are several places I would like to have seen shortened. The beginning for  a start. Lots of information on being a pilot . A good bit of time getting from here to there. Some background on our main character Sam is there but not much. It turns up more into the body of the book. Once you get more into that, the book moves on better. I guess I would say that my problem with the story is that I never liked the main character Sam.  When he is laid off by the Airline he has spent the last 6 years with, he ends up heading to Florida because one of his high school buddies Nate is living there now and told him  he could get him a job: and he does. It is so obvious as to what kind of job Nate is talking about to the reader from the git-go.. but it takes "our hero" way too long to figure it out.  Once he is "in" and making money though, he just sucks it all up. Again, he was not an exciting character to begin with and now he just gets plain dirty. Eventually, he gets a chance at one big "score" and although he has decided by then, that getting out and settling down with his brand new gal pal would be a much happier and safer way to go, you KNOW what he does. Of course you do.. anyway.. he ends up in the ocean.. all by himself,a  L  O  N  G.. way from any shore. Things get very busy then. Won't say any more but the authors buckle the narrative up and put a good twist on it and your back flying the friendly skies.
