Description
The Captains’ Airline: On Approach to Disaster
Following a tragic accident during their triumphant homecoming in 1983, the entire Blue Angel team was disbanded and Naval Aviator Brad Morehouse has found himself relegated to the flight engineer seat of a commercial 727. From the lowest notch on the totem pole he watches the downward spiral of Omega Airlines as one crew blunder after another threatens to force the once proud captain’s airlines into extinction.
Because of his experience on high performance teams, Brad is chosen to be a member of a blue-ribbon committee tasked to design a state-of-the-art Crew Resource Management (CRM) training program at Omega. The activities of that committee expose actual underlying dynamics of numerous hair-raising calamities. Encounter authentic bristling accounts of airplanes crashing, the gut wrenching experience of living through an accident, individuals haunted by failure, and teams admirably conquering impending disaster.
Brad wrestles with his own failing marriage, disturbed childhood, and professional failure, to emerge as Omega’s white knight. Experience the macho mind-set of previous-generation pilots, the sizzle of airline romance, the rollicking good humor of capable leaders, and the grit of effective teams. See how everyday people have prepared to perform as the highly skilled crew of USAIR flight 1549 did in January of 2009, landing safely in the Hudson River.
