Joey, ignore the jealous a$$hats.

I'm interested in all of those topics that you've touched on but I rarely read books.
haha thanks, I figure Ill just write it all out, have my educated sister edit it, and if it seems like a good read Ill shoot it off to a Literary agent. The worst that could happen would be the same outcome if I just didn't write anything at all .

I would be wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy more interested in how you became a pilot and a nice in depth behind the scenes of being a pilot. You have two choices for this novel, you either write about your sex conquests and tomfoolery, or you write about what I just said I would be interested in.

I wouldn't mix the two, people who read the book for a behind the scenes could probably care less about some slutty stewardess.

I vote for flojo to write a story too. Everyone's a critic

Coming from someone who wanted to be a pilot but had his dreams crushed by the ****ING light-gun.. I'd buy this book in a heart beat.

Joey, have you ever read Seconds from Disaster? If not.. check it out. Good book, and it'd be neat if you could make the story in to something like that. So it adds a bit of fiction to it all and covers your ass in case the book backfires on you "oh.. that was just a joke"

Yeah, that's probably the best advice so far, maybe Ill discuss a little bit of sex when I get to the chapter about Flight Attendants?

Just a couple things I noticed:
Organize your thoughts better. Your topics are all over the place. Probably would cause the reader to lose interest faster.
Drastically cut down the amount of double quotes when you're not indicating someone talking.

Definitely some potential for some good stories, for both the light entertainment crowd and for the more technical/detail-oriented types. Go for it.
