Synopsis

Internationally acclaimed aviation insider and novelist John J. Nance moves with polished ease and compelling authenticity from the cockpit to the boardroom in a world where the Big Three U.S. airlines have achieved national dominancewith high prices and poor service. Challenging them comes a new, visionary airline, one that combines a great name from aviations recent past with new standards of comfort and elegance. This billiondollar startup was engineered by Elizabeth Sterling, a bright young investment banker (and single parent). When she assumes the post of chief financial officer for this upstart carrier, she finds herself masterminding a frantic defense against a sinister campaign by powerful, unknown forces determined to destroy her proud creation.

Not as good as some of his other books. Too much legalese. The chapters concerning the aircrafts and flights were good, but I slogged through the rest of it. Two and a half stars.......more
