Flight For Control Nook
Please be advised this book is for mature audiences only. Okay... you don't have to be mature, but you should be old enough to deal with some serious real-life issues. While fiction, Flight For Control harnesses the current airline environment, economy, and the stress your pilots face daily. Where is the union? What is the FAA doing? What is management's fiduciary responsibility? Flight For Control also contains strong sexual content. When on the big screen, it will be R-Rated. Be ready for the flight of your life, it may be your last.
If you can handle the flight, then you will love the action and adventure of Flight For Control.
Read what the experts say:
“I have a mental map of the book, and boy, is this one ever a labyrinth. Think three-dimensional Midwestern corn maze. It's quite a wild ride. A lot of it scares me, but it reveals a lot about the current state of the commercial aviation industry, stuff that most people don't even think about or can imagine happening..."
Christine Hollingsworth, Pilot
NOTE: Flight For Control is the first in the Flight Trilogy~

Aviation Needs Your Help...
Justice Depends on It!
As you know I have been writing aviation thrillers that have taken a life of their own due to a litany of ongoing events. This is the situation-- in every story there is good and evil. But what happens when the good wins ... but evil prevails? That is not how the world should work. That is definitely not how the story should end.
I need your help to support the real Darby Bradshaw in her fight for justice. Her attorney has recommended a GoFundMe account to help with her legal fees, that are well over $600,000 and adding up daily, but she has refused. She even sold her home to help finance this fight for safety. Darby's case has turned into a battle of attrition where the airline is utilizing vexatious litigation with stockholder funds to destroy a pilot who was promoting safety.

If I Had One Wish For Aviation
- Write a series of aviation novels inspired by real life drama of what we in the industry are living. Three women, Darby, Kathryn and Jackie, take on my fight for safety in the flight series. The series are designed to create awareness.
The process continues...
- Earn my PhD in Aviation Safety/Human Factors from ERAU. Learning and understanding aviation issues from an educated forum, will assist in solving industry problems.
- Upgrade to captain after I finish my PhD on whatever plane I can hold on the West Coast. No commuting to the bottom for a 4th stripe for me. Life quality is essential for a happy life.
- Write book four: Fight For Sanity. When whistle blower laws protect those who take issues externally, there is no protection for those fighting for safety on the inside.
- Write book five (Non-Fiction): Fight For Safety — Inside the Iron Bubble, the truth behind the flight series.
- Become CEO of my airline or the Secretary of the Department of Transportation: To impact change for a safety system. Airline side, to support an airline that focuses on safety as the first priority, with full support of SMS, built from a strong safety culture - reporting, flexible, learning, informed, and just - that supports diversity and full pilot support with appropriate reward for all. Government side, to create overall industry change focused on safety.
Modified Plans:
- To finish my PhD and 5th novel in 2017. Then after I'm on the B777, I will attend law school with the intent to change the Railway Labor Act. This 91 year old act actually inhibits aviation safety through archaic processes in a modern world. I will ensure what my character Darby Bradshaw faced in Flight For Sanity, will never happen to anyone again!
And to help everyone reach their dreams
This book is for you:
You don't have to be a pilot to Be
the Captain of Your Life!
What can you do to help aviation?
What is your wish?
Flight For Sanity
and
Flight To Success,
Be the Captain of Your Life

Flying Together


Aviation News Analyst, John Nance, has become a fan of the stories and following the drama, because he knows the truth...
A wild and scary ride with a satisfying and potentially accurate ending. And there may not be enough orange jump suits to go around!"
Aviation Analyst, ABC World News
Author of LOCKOUT (WildBluePress)

"Would you knowingly climb aboard a pilotless airliner, flown from airport to airport by computers and promoted by airline executives who would stop at nothing to make a buck? After all, it makes economic sense. Computers don't need rest, equal pay, and vacations.... they also don't break ranks and expose weaknesses in an airline's safety system. Courage is reading this book the night before flying somewhere commercially."
