Mitch Cronin Posted March 13, 2004 Share Posted March 13, 2004 I just hope to hell it doesn't start off with, "Hello, it's Saturday, March 13th, and this is Robert" Someone oughta tell him how flippin' tight-assed he sounds when he makes those tapes! Maybe he needs some lessons from Whoopy or someone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dagger Posted March 13, 2004 Share Posted March 13, 2004 You're IAM leadership can make pretty good taped messages... they don't even work with a script.... they just say whatever comes into their pointy little heads... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Hudson Posted March 13, 2004 Share Posted March 13, 2004 Mitch; I've read the thread and I believe some folks have it wrong. I think Milton's book will be a barn-burner, at least as barn-burners in this industry go. There's precious few really good books on the industry in Canada...about five, maybe six and I have them*. I would have been interested in what Stevie Cameron would have written, or Susan Goldenberg or even Wayne Skene (hell, even Peter Pigott!) and I would love to have read what Hollis Harris could have put to paper. Now that Chretien and Collenette, and all the others in the cast of characters of 1999 are no longer in the picture he is free to write and we already know how shy and retiring he is. Milton's story, either as written by himself or as told, will be a most fascinating piece of history and I look forward immensely to the book. ======== *Some titles: Troubled Skies; Crisis, Competition & Control in Canada's Airline Industry - Goldenberg The Adolescence of an Airline - Gordon McGregor Turbulence: How Deregulation Destroyed Canada's Airlines - Skene It Seems Like Only Yesterday - Smith WingWalkers 2nd ed - Pigott Air Canada Inquiry Report - Willard Estey Sections of On The Take - Cameron Senate Transport Committee Hearings on the Airline Industry in Canada Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest GDR Posted March 13, 2004 Share Posted March 13, 2004 Let's hope the last chapter is about how the company finally came out of CCAA. :; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest simcoe Posted March 13, 2004 Share Posted March 13, 2004 How to take 85% marketshare and bankrupt the company in one easy lesson....mein gott...vatt an ego.... WJ's book will be about the same time, though it's written by an established author, http://www.ucalgary.ca/library/SpecColl/grescoe.htm It'll be interesting if Canadians want to read about a failure, or a success story....

Guest Posted March 13, 2004 Share Posted March 13, 2004 Dagger, that fairly well sums up the AIM, now you may understand why those of us in maintenance are trying to replace them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest manwest Posted March 13, 2004 Share Posted March 13, 2004 Saw this posted on Flyer Talk. Miltons original title for his book. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0306812274/qid=1079137923/sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_1/103-3130744-7207051?v=glance&s=books Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sky High Posted March 13, 2004 Share Posted March 13, 2004 Here's an idea Mitch. Why don't you get together with Neo, dagger, cp fa, frosty, deicer and maybe Rob Assaf. That should cover almost all areas of the company. Write your own book from the employees point of view. I'm sure with such a wide variety of experience and viewpoints you guys could come up with something that would blow Miltons book out of the water. Just a thought.. I for one would love to read that. Cheers (insert smiley thing here, your choice) Sky High Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest glowplug Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 Sure hope the pages aren't to rough and they tear easily - Just about out of national geographics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
