Customer Reviews

Good but dated

A great introduction to human factors but it shows its age in its focus, its examples, and its recommendations. Nevertheless, this book makes a good starting point.

For the CRM specialist, or those with a keen interest

If you are in senior airline management and are wondering why things happen the way they happen and you really can't figure out why, this book might provide some help. It's the first step towards understanding the human impact in airline operations, be that pilots, cabin crew or ground crews. Far from being an expert in the field I think this work provides great background material, probably to be better understood when you hold a degree in psychology, but also readable for the un-initiated like myself. CRM specialists/trainers, Human Resource Managers etc. should have this book on their shelv(es).
