About this listen

What's it really like to be a new airline captain? How does it feel to be ultimately responsible for a jet, its crew, and the lives of its passengers? And how does one remain calm while battling mechanical malfunctions in the flight simulator, thunderstorms in Mexico City, or blizzards in Chicago? Find out for yourself when you strap in to the extra flight deck jumpseat and fly along with 31-year-old Korry Franke in this vivid and fast-paced memoir about his eventful first year as a United Airlines 737 captain. Experience the challenges, insecurities, successes, and failures of a new leader stepping up and taking command in the high-stakes world of airline flying. And along the way, discover that while 3 Feet to the Left is a story about Korry, it's really a story about all of us. Because in one way or another, we are all on our own journeys...three feet to the left.

The immediacy and detail of the flying made this a compelling read. I was less sure about the dialogues outside of the cockpit, which seemed a little contrived. However if the author writes a further account l will certainly be keen to read it.

Ride along with Korry Franke as he steps up into command.

I have just finished savoring the very interesting literary journey that is 3 feet to the left and I must say I am very glad that I came across his book. As someone in the aviation industry myself I could relate to his ups and downs as he trained on his journey from the right First Officer’s seat to the left Captain’s seat, his wonderful writing style and vivid descriptions making me feel like I was right there with him. This book is for everyone, from the layman with the the slightest interest in aviation to the expert aviator with tens of thousands of flying hours under their belt. It is easy to read and understand, and really goes into details about what goes on in the cockpit of your typical as well as not so typical flight. Everyone is bound to learn something from this book, not only about the world of airline flying from a pilot’s perspective but also about life in general. A fantastic read, highly recommended!

A must read for every airline aviator!
