A must-have for airline professionals ... . a recommended handbook for people at all levels of airline management and required reading for RM scientists and analysts ... . I wish a book such as Ben's had been available when I started my career. It not only nicely complements more academic books and articles in the vast RM and pricing literature but also provides a good look into a possible future as seen by an outstanding industry leader.
