{"product_id":"from-miles-to-millions-bill-grenier-paperback-bill-grenier","title":"From Miles To Millions \/ Bill Grenier [Paperback] Bill Grenier","description":"When he became a commercial pilot at age nineteen, Bill Grenier never imagined that one day he’d be captain of the largest commercial plane the world had seen, flying the highest profile routes of a proud national carrier. Even less could he have imagined, at age nineteen and with barely a penny to his name, that he’d one day be a wealthy man. But he would ultimately control an empire worth nearly a billion dollars. With liberal doses of wit and humour, Miles to Millions shows what a little luck, lots of perseverance, and an appetite for adventure can do. From boarding house to boardroom, from cradle to cockpit, Grenier offers a fascinating story of success both as a commercial pilot and as a businessman. Filled with anecdotes you’d never expect from a single career – from acting as repo man taking planes for payment to saving hundreds of passengers in a stricken 747 with a landing gear problem and with a collapsed co-pilot –From Miles to Millions is a high-flier of a story bound to entertain both aviation experts and enthusiasts alike. Those “Millions” aren’t miles, by the way, but dollars earned, as we are treated to how high finance became a dual profession for this pilot. Bill’s life reads like a Dow Jones Average on wings.","brand":"Just Great Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45711278571754,"sku":"JGB-US2-1-Stack5-3-099377640X-NA","price":740.41,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/1735\/7290\/files\/A1WOC4LardL.jpg?v=1763015379","url":"https:\/\/justgreatbooks.org\/products\/from-miles-to-millions-bill-grenier-paperback-bill-grenier","provider":"Just Great Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
