About this audiobook
Captain Laura Savino takes you directly into the cockpit for an exclusive look into the boy’s club of airline pilots – told through the eyes of the first female pilot many of them ever flew with.
“No math,” Laura’s counselor told her in high school. “That would ruin your GPA.” Laura had other plans. One teenage act of rebellion changed everything for her at a time when STEAM opportunities for women were rare. If passengers on a commercial jet had trouble imagining a woman flight engineer – which Laura became – imagine their disbelief to see her as the pilot flying their widebody jet around the globe.
She exposes both the harsh truths and the exciting adventures of her years in the airline industry as a commercial pilot, reveals compelling insider details of 9/11, of the Tenerife air disaster killing 583 people, of the Gulf War and much more. Experience what life is truly like in the cockpit and how it has changed from the 80s to today, from the eyes of a woman and heart of a mother.
Laura’s powerful story is a blueprint for how to defy expectations and follow your inner compass to do things you never thought possible.
