Pilots themselves want their fellow crewmember to be left-brain people. We can certainly do without the emotions of a left-brainer dominating in the … [Read more...]
Pilot Les Abend Discusses Why He Wrote PAPER WINGS
Except for the grey clouds that I might fly through on any given flight, as an airline pilot I deal with a world that is mostly black and white. Checklists. Procedures. Protocols.

“The Cannibal Cop” Gil Valle On Why He Decided To Tell His Story In RAW DEAL
I understand and totally get how the story about my case can be fodder for many jokes and I can even laugh at myself most of the time.

He was the one, according to Fox Butterfield of the New York Times, who advised Weld to appoint an African American District Attorney to Suffolk County.
