3 Feet to the Left

A New Captain's Journey from Pursuit to Perspective

De: Korry M. Franke

Narrado por: Korry Franke

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.

Amazing Highly Recommend!!!

This is by far the best book I have ever read, it goes in to so much detail, and the voice of narriation is soothing and memorable, I will listen to this book many times over again, just to make sure I didnt miss anything! It is THAT GOOD!

Leadership Lessons

Great story from the left seat perspective! Glad the author was able to read the audio book. Made the listening experience much more relevant and relatable.

Great book!

Happened to stumble upon this book. As a student pilot I always find this type of advice and story to excite myself even more for what’s to come!

Incredible perspective

The end is profound. This was a fun story with great anecdotes that can apply to people in every field. A new managers perspective about roles, rules, and human interaction.

Career Changer

What an amazing story of growth leadership and airline pilot life. As an Army Officer and leader, this publication, while generally specific to the airlines, provides an invaluable lens in examining effective leadership principles. I highly recommend this career changing work. Thank you CPT Franke

Fascinating and down to earth read!

Korry it’s a very fascinating human being, and I’m so inspired by a his development of a dream to become an aviator and pushing through all the ups and downs to achieve his goal, while still learning, even after making it 3 feet to the left!

Way to Go Korry!

It was really great! Remember, everyone's path is absolutely different, Korry is one of the lucky ones who hasn't needed to stress too much on the financial side in his life, but then again he's had other stresses elsewhere. Thanks Korry. Press on!
