"Mr. Buffington is not a professional author. He is a professional pilot and he has a personal story to tell. Whether you are a pilot or dream of becoming one, this book should be part of your library of books about flying. It is one insider's look at starting out in the world of a professional aviation career. It is a heartfelt and sometimes emotional story of personal and career growth that takes you from small town student pilot to the right seat of a regional passenger airliner. Along the way, it describes the joys, the obstacles and the trade offs that must be made to advance a career in aviation today. One of the reasons this book will connect with readers, both inside and outside of aviation, is that Mr. Buffington tells an interesting tale of being challenged by personal or ethical choices that we all face in advancing our careers. There are those who will make the compromises, look the other way, remain silent, or simply go along to get along or get ahead. You will be glad to read that he did not - and instead chose to do the right thing for him and his family. His example can and will encourage others.
