Max and Court are pleased to bring you an interview with Dr. Alfred Kahn, the father of U.S. airline deregulation. Dr. Kahn led the push for airline deregulation during the late 70’s and has been called on for airline industry advice ever since. Dr. Kahn is the only guest we’ve had on the Airplane Geeks with his own Wikipedia page.
