520 1 $a"At a time when so many airlines around the world were crashing and burning, four partners seemed to be taking a mad risk in launching a new, low-cost carrier in Canada. WestJet was born on February 29, 1996, and has ever since managed to soar above the clouds of doom that have gathered around the turbulent airline industry." "But this incredible journey has not always been a smooth one. WestJet has faced its share of crippling crises in its short history: a complete grounding for seventeen days, just six months into operation; the aftermath of September 11, 2001, that devastated the airline industry; and the fallout from SARS and international conflict, that sent the airline business spiraling further downward. Through it all, WestJet has spread its wings as an astonishingly successful, against-all-odds airline." "In this behind-the-scenes chronicle, veteran business author Paul Grescoe records the story of WestJet's first eight extraordinary years. He reveals the enlightened corporate culture and management practices of this employee-first enterprise, and he shows by example how people in other industries can emulate its success."--BOOK JACKET.
