Y'all,
I began reading it one section at a time. Beginning with Appendix
D---Acronyms and Glossary. I skipped Appendix C about helicopters, and then
read Appendix B and A. Sort of like riding in the back of a truck and
learning where you've been.

The book was not designed for this kind of treatment. Back pages keep
falling out.Chapter 6 is about system improvemtnt plans at least that's the
title. Chapter 5 Apprpoach(es) gets down to the gritty.

The charts and text come pre-highlited by the author(s) so I use a differnt
color. I find the material very condensed and difficult to simplify. Like
eating concentrated orange juice out of the container.with a toothpick.

Looking forward, it appears that new guys will have glass cockpits to do
their thinking and the old guys will fly the back-ups.
