In the cut-throat world of low-cost airlines, competition is the name of the game. Not only up in the air but also on the ground.Crash and Burn is an insiders tale of the South African airline industry over the past thirty years and the dramatic collapse of Comair in 2022, as told by Glenn Orsmond, twice CEO of Comair and the founder CEO of 1time. Orsmond takes the reader on a wild ride through the ultra-competitive sector of low-cost airlines that boomed after South African Airways stranglehold on the skies was loosened in the 1990s. Comair which operated both Kulula and British Airways and 1time were at the forefront of this new wave of airlines that saw domestic flying and tourism take off.But after some incredible highs and lows, Comair crashed under Orsmonds watch despite the companys 75-year unblemished profit history. The pandemics impact, the grounding of aeroplanes after a questionable regulator investigation and poor management decisions all contributed to its downfall.Expect tales of industry legends and innovation, but also of competitors trying to gut each other, battles between pilots and accountants, unions and bosses at loggerheads, and warfare between shareholders and directors in boardrooms. Youll never think of flying in South Africa in the same way again.

Quando Elon teve alta do hospital, o pai repreendeu-o. Tive de ficar de pe uma hora a ouvi-lo gritar comigo, a chamar-me idiota e a dizer-me que era um inutil, recorda.O impacto do pai na sua psique permaneceria. Transformou-se num homem-criança duro, apesar de vulneravel, com uma tolerancia extraordinariamente alta ao risco, sedento de drama e com um sentido epico de misso e uma obstinaço maniaca, to insensivel quanto, por vezes, destrutiva.No inicio de 2022, depois de um ano marcado pelo lançamento e colocaço em orbita de 31 foguetes da SpaceX, pela marca de um milho de carros vendidos pela Tesla e de se tornar o homem mais rico do mundo, Musk falou com pesar sobre a sua compulso para criar dramas.

Em maio de 2023 visitei o Oriente Médio e tive uma estadia em Israel, lá pude conhecer o famoso aeroporto Ben-Gurion em Tel-Aviv, pude ver baterias antiaéreas da Defesa Israelense, pude ver aeronaves da Al El Israeli Airlines na pista do aeroporto. Este livro no se destina a falar das aeronaves militares, mas o meu enfoque aqui foi no aeroporto internacional e na companhia aerea AL El. Deus havia prometido trazer o povo disperso de Israel como asas de aguia e milhares de anos depois o mundo inovou e evoluiu tecnologicamente e quem diria que os judeus voltariam a Terra Santa voando, sim, a maioria dos judeus retornaram a Israel voando e a empresa israelense Al El foi um instrumento de Deus para transportar judeus do mundo inteiro para retornarem para casa. Esta obra tambem contem um album fotografico da minha interaço com o aeroporto de Tel-Aviv. Fiz alguma imagens da janela do avio contemplando a terra amada de Israel. Meu coraço ficou em Israel.
