In an industry obsessed with polished PR, Captain J.B. Lewis rips off the headset and tells the truths airlines don't want you to hear. With over twenty years in the cockpit, thousands of hours logged in more than fifty aircraft - from jumbo jets to janky beaters - Lewis has lived aviation from every angle: pilot, mechanic, entrepreneur, and son of a legendary aerobatics instructor.
But his outspokenness came at a price. Blackballed by the very industry he devoted his life to and stripped of his career, Lewis was forced to rebuild from scratch. Instead of remaining silent, he's pulling back the curtain. Gross Incompetence is a no-holds-barred tell-all that exposes the secrets, politics, and daily realities of flying that the airlines hope you'll never discover. Brutally honest, often shocking, and sometimes darkly funny, this is the story of one man who refused to shut up - even when it cost him everything.
Alas, we have a book about aviation that's been on everyone's minds but nobody's mouths, but now we finally have an insider who's been pushed out of the aviation industry who has nothing more to lose than to expose it all in graphic detail -- the good, the bad, and the ugly -- shining the light on the truth behind the news past and present and why it's all happening, from an insider's perspective. The shocking expose of the breakdown of modern aviation, and a worthy read if you're an avid traveler or an aviation enthusiast alike.
Dare if you will to be educated and entertained, because this book packs it all into seven chapters of what most people will never learn in flight school, and what the others simply choose to turn a blind eye to in their professional aviation careers out of fears of repercussion.
Enjoy this book, because there's none other like it, and for that matter, likely will never be again.
