It's the story of the personalities and challenges of the airline industry up to 1996. I just started it and it's a great read. Highly recommended.

It makes me glad that I work for a company that knows how to make a profit in this business.
That's a great book. My copy is so dog-eared that I just bought the kindle edition. After you finish that one, read "Skygods" by Robert Gandt. It's about the rise and (mostly) fall of Pan-Am.
