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.
