Negative Positive
Title: SkyGods
Review: Excellent read abou the history of Pan Am. Arrogance is a word to describe Juan Trippe (the founder of Pan Am). Trippe was always in conflict with politcal officals in Washington D.C. He even called all his enemies "primitives". Later, when Pan Am was in financial trouble, he went to Washington D.C. for help. Unsurprisingly, he did not get the bailout. The CEOs after Trippe continued a string a very bad buisness decesions that drove the airline out of existance. Plus, various economic facotors did not help Pan AMs balance sheets. The employees were (especially the pilots) always short changed every time a merger/"belt tightening" took place. While other airlines adapted to the Airline Deregulation Act, Pan AM struggled. If anybody wants to become a pilot, they need to read this book.
