Nerves of Steel by Captain Tammie Jo Shults Book Summary

Nerves of Steel is the captivating true story of Tammie Jo Shults’s remarkable life—from growing up the daughter of a humble rancher, to breaking through gender barriers as one of the Navy’s first female F/A-18 Hornet pilots, to safely landing the severely crippled Southwest Airlines Flight 1380 and helping save the lives of 148 people.

Tammie Jo Shults has spent her entire life loving the skies. Though the odds were against her, she became one of the few female fighter pilots in the Navy. In 1994, after serving her country honorably for eight years, Tammie Jo left the Navy and joined Southwest Airlines in the early 1990’s. 

On April 17, 2018, Tammie Jo was called to service once again. Twenty minutes into a routine domestic flight, Captain Shults was faced with the unthinkable—a catastrophic engine failure in the Boeing 737 caused an explosion that severed hydraulic and fuel lines, tearing away sections of the plane, puncturing a window, and taking a woman’s life. Captain Shults and her first officer, Darren Ellisor, struggled to stabilize the aircraft.

Drawing deeply from her well of experience, Tammie Jo was able to wrestle the severely damaged 737 safely to the ground. Not originally scheduled for that flight, there is no doubt God had prepared her and placed her right where she needed to be that day.

Incredible. Remarkable story of a remarkable woman! I would recommend to anyone and everyone!

Legendary. Has forever made a lifelong impact in my personal walk with Jesus. Wow. She’s just one of a kind.

Nerves of Steel. This was a great book! Some of the characters in this book, if they are still walking the earth, should feel remorse for their actions of attempting to prevent a great pilot!

All Around Inspiring. I hope you enjoy this as much as I did. I had the pleasure of meeting Tammie Jo Shults at an airshow in Oshkosh, WI just a couple of weeks before my airplane accident in a Cessna 172. At the time, I admired her for the calm demeanor and professionalism she demonstrated when the Southwest Airline Boeing 737’s left engine exploded during the flight she was the captain of. I now admire her for even more than that after reading her book “Nerves of Steel”. I admire the relationship she has with the Lord, her relationships in her personal life with her family, as well as the way she bonds with members of her flight crew. Tammie Jo’s story of courageousness has motivated me to get back into the airplane and follow my dream of becoming an airline pilot. Let her story teach you to never lose hope. Trust in the loving Lord and you can achieve whatever it is that you believe. You may/will encounter other people (or situations) that don’t agree with you or treat you fairly, but just like Tammie Jo’s mom told her, take it to the Lord and pray for them. He’ll handle the rest!

Far More Than I Expected. A beautiful story that goes well beyond a description of an aircraft mishap and aptly serves as a tale of an American life well-lived while overcoming its inherent and continual trials and tribulations. Tammie Jo describes her strong reliance on family, friends, faith and mentors who emerged along the way to persevere in the face of adversity and persistent bullying while navigating her way through what had typically been a male dominated career field. She maneuvered her way through it all while keeping her core values, hopes and dreams alive. The book is a treasure trove of good advice, positive examples and inspirational quotes. Excellent read!

Nerves of Steel is a nail biter!. Book Report: Nerves of Steel - Tammie Jo Shults Absolutely everyone heard the story of the landing of the crippled Southwest 737 that landed in Philadelphia in April, 2018. It was in all the papers. She was joined by a very capable flight crew, but her gender was noisily highlighted. All airline pilots practice single engine landings on a continuous basis. She did a perfect job with an emergency situation that turned out to be multiple issues and not simply the failure of an engine. There were severe flight control issues, a rapid depressurization, hydraulic leaks, and fuel leaks, to muddy the water of our well and often rehearsed engine failures followed by single engine landings. She was great. Her experience and skill came into use and she managed the calamity as any professional, gender irrelevant. It was celebrated in the papers that she was a former Naval Aviatrix making her a sister of mine. Her timeframe was just after mine, making it remote that we would have ever met, but our names are on a list starting with Barbara Allen Rainey receiving her Wings of Gold in 1974, which bedazzled and motivated my life’s course as I began college. I have subsequently met Captain Shults, and she is as sweet as you think she might be from seeing her speak in interviews. She’s a doll, and absolutely professional. I am proud to call her a sister Naval Aviatrix as I am of all my sisters. It is such a wonderful thing to me that we are a crowd now. I was strolling through the airport the other day and noticed Tammie Jo’s face on a book in the bookstore. As a newly published author myself, I spun on my heel to investigate. I had heard she’d written one about the 737 landing, but I hadn’t seen it. I was riveted to her story. It was page turning and interesting. I loved it. While I never knew Tammie Jo in the Navy, we were aviatrices in different communities, and have subsequently signed on with different airlines in our civilian lives, I’m here to tell you that every word in this story is exactly accurate. I know this because we have so many parallels that it has to be true. Our trials have variances, but her stories launched me into a tailspin of remembering the battles. It might be perceived that our superiors were against women from our stories, and for some individuals that might have been a catalyst, but as we stood our ground and always strived for excellence, we remained standing, as any warrior would, gender irrelevant. I am proud of my Aviatrix sister, Tammi Jo Shults. I very strongly recommend her book as an exciting and interesting read, that tells more of the story than a scary landing.

Thank you. I was a passenger on 1380 searching for clarity and details as to what I had experienced. For a year and just shy of a half I have thought about you every day. And remember seeing you come out of the cockpit asking if we were ok. I asked you for a hug. You immediately opened your arms. I read this looking for details about our experience, I walked away realizing that the details didn’t really matter. It’s faith in god and others, those were the details that matter.

Nerves of Steel. Amazing! Evidence of God in motion. And faith beyond measure!

Calling All Girls!. One of the most brave and inspirational stories I’ve read in a long while! Capt. Schultz’s faith, determination and character in the face of predictable opposition dignifies her among the growing ranks of courageous women who dare to dream! This should be required reading in every classroom!

Excellent Book. I got a little bogged down by some of the technical details, and some of the lengthy descriptions of people’s job descriptions etc. But that’s just me. I tend to like details about people’s personalities and interactions. Overall a great book I would heartily recommend.
