After the almost twenty years that have passed since this book went to print, it remains an excellent source for a peak inside aviation right when enough time had passed for the first definetive review on dereg. X gives an excellent view of the airline industry at that time and much of what is discussed is still visable today. A book that is worth the read and $ to buy, you will not regret it.
For more lighter reading and a few laughs check out "Plane Insanity" by Elliot Hester. A profsional FA for a major airline dicusses his motavation for becoming an FA and the high jinx of pax, crew members, customs agents and planes alike.
