Still Improving by Nick Eades

Still Improving: Becoming the World's Most Experienced 747 Captain is the second part of author, Nick Eades' autobiographical account of his career in aviation as he rose up British Airways' seniority list to become the world's youngest and then, the most experienced Boeing 747 captain. Following on from The Self-Improver: A Pilot's Journey, which told the story about Nick's step-by-step path at the beginning of his career, this follow-up account, sees him take up a job with the world's favourite airline, British Airways. So begins another journey which would lead to him captaining one of the most iconic aircraft. The book takes us through the rigorous steps required of all top pilots as Nick attempted to achieve his goal of a command on his favourite aeroplane, the Boing 747. The book also relates the many exciting stories which saw Nick placed in all sorts of situations requiring a wide range of skills to handle both inside and outside the cockpit. Still Improving: Becoming the World's Most Experienced 747 Captain and The Self-Improver: A Pilot's Journey, the first edition of Nick Eades' autobiographical account of his career in aviation, have been written in a way that will appeal to the general readers who might not know much about aviation. Nick Eades is originally from the South coast of England where he grew up close to Shoreham Airport in Sussex in a family with a strong aviation background. He now lives in East Grinstead with his wife Liz, who he met while flying. They have two grown sons, James and Robert. Nick plans to continue writing and is planning his third book, Overtaken by a Butterfly: The Stories Behind Running the World, about his experiences going running whilst travelling around the world during his career as a pilot.

''No other pilot has flown the Boeing 747 for longer. There was no other aircraft that I wanted to fly.'' Continuing the story of The Self-Improver: A Pilot's Journey, Nick Eades' follow-up book, Still Improving: Becoming the World's Most Experienced 747 Captain, tells the story of how he struggles to gain a foothold in the world of the big commercial airlines, one that has so far refused to consider the self-taught and self-funded pilot. For the final time, take a step into the cockpit as the self-improver finally achieves his dream of flying the world's greatest airliner. No-one could have predicted the thrills and adventures that awaited. ''British Airways turned me down as a pilot on the 747. So, what did I do when they finally did offer me a job? I turned down British Airways.''
