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.

Great insight
As a private pilot, I've always wondered what it would be like to captain a modern-day commercial jet. Korry's insight was exactly what I was looking for, enjoy every minute listing to his stories. Can't help but think how Korry's journey is continuing adding in the present Coronavirus restrictions. Look forward to the next book. Cheers and thanks again for the insight.

As a pilot I've got to say, I'm amazed you were given a captaincy. Your wife would have done a better job. You doubt yourself at every turn, and have zero leadership personality. I doubt this is your age, but more about who you are. It doesn't even sound like you want the responsibility. Additionally, and this is where you youth does factor I'm, you are a captain with one of the world's largest airlines, and all you seem to do is whinge and wine about your place in the hierarchy. You have no right to complain as you do, you insult all other pilots or wannabe pilots. Appreciate what you have, the last thing you should have done is write a book to vent your woes.
