Drew naively quits a cushy sales job to chase his dream of an airline career-right into the dog-eat-dog chaos of 1980s airline deregulation. After the rash career move leaves him nearly broke, he lands a part-time gig loading bags for Ruff Air, a scrappy little upstart named for its eccentric owner. The pay is half his old salary, the industry is in a financial nosedive, and rookie mistakes have colleagues betting on how long he'll last, yet the airline feels like home.
Then he's thrust into the aftermath of an in-flight tragedy, helping flight attendant Rachel support a grieving family. Their shared mission draws them together, sparking an unlikely workplace romance. Soon, life is all about long-distance calls, stolen moments as her flights pass through, and even a playful competition to see who can plan the perfect Weather Channel vacation. But the realities of a cutthroat business soon close in, and as Ruff Air spirals toward financial oblivion, Drew and Rachel learn that heartbreaking choices are sometimes the price of survival in an infamously volatile industry.
Unexpected Ruff Air is inspired by true events. It takes readers into the gritty, nonstop world of airline operations, but its focus is on people taking on life's challenges-making ends meet, overcoming self-doubt, daring to take chances, and choosing the paths that define us. It's also about never taking for granted the laughter, camaraderie, and love that may one day become the most cherished memories of our lives.Also in
