The World At My Feet
http://www.usatoday.com/travel/columnist/getline/2004-11-01-ask-the-captain_x.htm
Above is the link to this week’s edition of “Ask The Captain” brought to you by USAToday.com. The number of emails I’m getting continues to increase to the point of being overwhelming. It’s very gratifying and I’m still trying to answer as many of you personally as I possibly can, but of course the number I am unable to answer individually is growing. I hope you understand.
As always, I want to thank the many of you who have written to say how much you’ve enjoyed my book. If you haven’t yet ordered “The World At My Feet” and want to, see the home page of www.fromthecockpit.com and look at the bottom, or just call 1-800-345-6665. Depending upon where you order it the book may have to be back-ordered. The quickest way to receive it is through my website or toll-free number above.
I have now been officially contacted for an appearance on “The View” which airs live on weekdays at 11:00 AM New York time. The date is not yet firm but for now it looks like sometime in December. I’ll publish the date as soon as I know for those of you who may be interested in watching the show. Last Monday’s appearance on an ABC News show sent book sales soaring right through the roof. This week I’ll enter my fourth and last week of B-777 training. This week we flew from London to Washington, D.C. in the simulator except, as always, we didn’t make it very far before we blew an engine and had to turn back. We wound up doing an emergency landing in Dublin. We also practiced short-field landings, including some out at Lihue on the island of Kauai, Hawaii.
This Sunday I’m tentatively scheduled to take my first REAL trip (with a check pilot) from Chicago to Osaka, with some domestic flying to San Francisco and Denver. This will be my first time as captain on this airplane (!).
Please keep your questions coming, either through my own website www.fromthecockpit.com or through my column at USAToday.com/travel where a link is provided for you.
Until next time,Maintain Airspeed
