Should be read by all Canadian Airlines Employees,

Amazing research built into a story of interesting pioneers transforming a bush pilot airline into a an airline that is now recognized World wide despite government interests in promoting the "National Carrier's as the chosen one.An example of entrepreneurs and private enterprise struggling to survive.I feel all Canadian employees should read this to appreciate where the airline has come from and that it has survived far more difficult times than those it currently still faces. As a supporter of Canadian and past passenger of Canadian Pacific, Pacific Western and Ward Air I found it most interesting.
