Airplanes get de-icing treatment when there is a risk of icing. Not simply because it's cold.At cruising altitude the temperature is colder than 50 degrees below zero. Is every flight de-iced? No.As a commercial pilot, maybe the author knows more than you think.

John Nance has always impressed me whether in his written work or on T.V., etc... this book just helps prove that. You can tell that only an airline "insider" came up with this novel. He kept the right mix between the finincal part of things and the "down dirty" flying types of things. In the last third of the book is where it really gets exciting and keeps you on your seat till the end.

From one pilot to another it is a good read. It is apparent that Nance is writing about "what he knows," even though the plane that was used has yet to be invented...Nance makes you believe it could happen.
