Flight For Safety

News Flash: Global Air Lines wipes Coastal Airlines off the radar screen during a merger creating the largest airline in the world, and changes life for everyone.

Captain Darby Bradshaw’s 4th stripe is ripped from both shoulders as she is forced back to first officer. Her friend Jackie Jameson, once a flight attendant, becomes a training scheduler. Their best friend, Kathryn Jacobs, moves from the NTSB to the Federal Aviation Administration. Concerned with the downward trend in the aviation industry Kathryn beats her head against the bureaucratic walls in attempt to improve safety.

When an Airbus A330 is found in it’s watery grave, a Boeing 777 lands short of a runway and Global Air Lines implements a ‘train yourself at home’ program, Darby Bradshaw realizes it's time to take action. 

On her training blog, Flight For Safety, she tells the world why the A330 crashed. When she is called into the chief pilot’s office for that post and her career threatened, she suspects it's the ‘good ole boys’ attempting to silence her. But when her boyfriend, a company check airman, disappears and numerous airline incidents are covered up, Darby learns she has stepped into the heart of a far-reaching conspiracy.

Darby’s pursuit of safety and her fight to impact change open a reality beyond her wildest dreams. A reality filled with corruption and greed inside Global Air Lines, where each flight has turned into a game of Russian roulette.

With the support of her friends, Darby risks her life as she takes on Global Air Lines and an industry in her fight for safety.

What Readers Think: 

"Can you Handle the Truth?

That question - loosely adapted from Jack Nicholson’s incendiary line in the movie “A Few Good Men” is an appropriate preamble to reading Karlene Pettit’s thoroughly engaging and lightning-paced new work, “Flight for Safety.” 

The truth is exactly what you get: 

The truth of being a professional airline pilot in today’s stressed airline world, the truth about the major new threats to the safety of airline passengers from pilots who aren’t trained to fly anything but computers, and which political and personal agendas sometimes trump safety and sanity.
 

Can you handle the truth? 

Then this book is a must-read!"
