		Francisco (Frank) A. Lorenzo was one of the most notorious players in the history of commercial aviation in the United States.
		The Deregulation Act of 1978 allowed Lorenzo to expand his business dealings and he systematically began to acquire companies such as Continental Airlines, New York Air, Frontier Airlines, and Eastern Airlines, in his bid to compete with the new non-unionized airlines.
		Lorenzo left the debacle with a vast personal fortune and tried to found a new airline called Friendship in 1993, but the U.S. Department of Transportation did not grant him permission.

	Labor vs. Lorenzo
		Lorenzo has never disguised his intent to break Eastern's unions, using tactics he mastered in breaking Continental's union three years earlier.
		Lorenzo was given a $20 million bonus as part of the take-over deal and became Eastern's new chairman.
		He says Lorenzo "bought Eastern to dismantle it" and thereby eliminate the competition that Eastern presented to his Texas Air Corp. Another of Lorenzo's goals, according to Tarpinian, was to force the IAM into wildcat strikes in order to eventually overturn the Railway Labor Act, which permits secondary boycotts in the transportation sector.

		"Lorenzo" is Frank Lorenzo, a name that inspires as much ire among Eastern veterans today as it did when they took to the picket lines to denounce him in the spring of 1989.
		The unions felt special animosity toward Lorenzo because they believed he was trying to cannibalize Eastern by transferring its assets to Continental Airlines Inc., which Lorenzo also owned and where organized labor was much less of a force.
		Lorenzo's final offer, according to machinist leader Charles Bryan, 71, involved pay cuts of up to 50 percent and a clause that would have given management far more discretion over who did work for the airline.

		But Lorenzo was lousy on people issues, famously saying, "I'm not paid to be a candy ass" The mid-1980s were a bad time to take that approach.
		The Lorenzo model was old school: if the unions give you any trouble, break 'em.
		Lorenzo might have succeeded in breaking the machinists alone, but when flight attendants and pilots honored the picket lines, he should have known it was time to deal.

		Barbara Walters once referred to Frank Lorenzo as "the most hated man in America." Since 1990, when this work was first published and Eastern Airlines' troubles were front-page news, there have been many worthy contenders for the title.
		The book provides a detailed account of the three-and-a-half-year period between Lorenzo's acquisition of Eastern in the autumn of 1986 and Judge Lifland's appointment of the trustee in April 1990.
		The only shortcoming of the book is that the story line leaves off with the ejection of Frank Lorenzo as the debor in possession of the bankrupt airline and the appointment of a bankruptcy trustee in April of 1990.

		By this time, Lorenzo himself is a thoroughly discredited character, and even segments of the ruling class press have been openly critical of him.
