“Voler est un acte de conquête où l'on défie les forces les plus puissantes et les plus fondamentales de la nature.”

“Above all, Bob Crandall was stricken with personal ambition. Was there a moment, he was once asked, when he realized that he wanted to run American Airlines? “Yeah,” he answered. “When I was born.”

“The travel agents’ motive was plain enough. By the mid-1970s travel agents sold nearly half of all airline tickets. (The airlines sold the rest directly to corporate accounts and individual passengers—by phone, by mail, at airports, and at downtown ticket offices.) Travel agents had been multiplying like delis in Brooklyn, and in some cases they were assuming the same mom-and-pop look. Entrepreneurs, retired couples, wives of the wealthy—almost anyone could start a travel agency merely by stocking the Official Airline Guide and leasing some storefront space or a cubbyhole in a suburban shopping strip. Some people went into the business simply because they enjoyed traveling themselves.”
