Description

This book is a collection of eight case studies of relationships between airline executives and federal regulatory agencies from the passage of the Air Commerce Act in 1926 to the Airline Deregulation Act of 1978. By that specialize in the lives and personalities of individual entrepreneurs, W. David Lewis and his contributors hope to explore the interaction between technology, government regulation, and entrepreneurship.

Each essay in the book makes a speciality of a particular airline executive, such as Eddie Rickenbacker, Robert Six, and Donald Nyrop. Lewis has been careful to give a number of perspective: Airlines of quite a lot of types are represented — large and small, scheduled and unscheduled. One of the crucial executives profiled were known for having adversative relationships with federal regulators, whereas others wholeheartedly accepted regulation and thrived under it.

There have been public calls for a return to airline regulation, and Lewis thinks it’s not unimaginable that regulation may in the long run return if problems continue and conditions deteriorate further. But, he say’s, it is well to needless to say deregulation occurred because there were flaws in the regulatory system it replaced. This collection of essays — scholarly and well documented but written in a full of life style suitable for specialists and nonspecialists alike — provides a long-range perspective on the issue of airline deregulation.
