Final Destination: Disaster: What Really Happened to Eastern Airlines

by George Jehn

Overview

Final Destination: Disaster informs the public, for the very first time, what actually precipitated the controversial sale of Eastern Air Lines, at one time the second largest airline in the free world, to Frank Lorenzo's Texas Air Corporation, which led to its certain demise. It is written from an eighteen-year veteran Eastern pilot insider's perspective, as the author was intimately involved in many aspects of the tumultuous events that culminated in the sale.

Editorial Reviews

Every former Eastern Airlines employee MUST read Final Destination: Disaster- What Really Happened To Eastern Airlines by George Jehn. Several books have been written about why Eastern went down, but none told as plausibly convincing as Jehn’s recent published book. You’ll be right in the negotiations behind closed doors with the union representatives and management. You’ll read accounts of what really happened that’s never been told. You’ll discover that there was more to the destruction of this once great airline than was told the employees. Was this a cover-up for what was really happening on a larger scale that involved the United States Government? A well-researched book by its author.

A page-turner and compelling read about those responsible in pulling the “shut-down handle” of this trail-blazing pioneering airline.
