Across the Aisle Interviews

I often have the good fortune of speaking with executives from airlines around the world about their businesses. When they're on the record (not all are), I put together a transcript and publish them in this series.

The content in these interviews can range greatly. Size doesn't matter. I've been just as happy to speak with the CEO of Island Air as I have been to speak with the CEO of American, both of which you'll find here.

Despite the name, I've never actually conducted one of these on an airplane itself. And before you ask after seeing the logo, no I don't condone smoking. But I do fully support awesome retro images.
