Grounded; Frank Lorenzo and the Destruction of Eastern Airlines Book

A detailed account of the step by step destruction of a major airline before the other majors in turn were gutted by varied economic pressures, internecine conflicts and questionable management/union skills and motives. if you wish to see where and how the decline started, this is the book. For those who think this narrative is dated, I would suggest that we are currently seeing a series of replays and should expect more frequent headlines of safety lapses and as John Golia, former NTSB Board Member, would say " pencil whipping". Just the thing to discuss when you are stuck in the center seat of your next flight and you want to irritate your companions.
