"James Wynbrandt adeptly captures the elements that have made David Neeleman and his remarkable airline, JetBlue, a huge success. Flying High is a tribute to Neeleman’s true depth. By developing a visionary business model and the right communications strategy, he was able to pilot JetBlue to profitability with finesse. It’s a must-read for people in any business seeking success."

President, Rubenstein Associates, Inc.

"In Flying High, James Wynbrandt tells the completely beguiling story of how a former Mormon missionary with attention deficit disorder and a history of both bankruptcy and getting fired from a high-profile job created one of the great airline successes of our time. What is David Neeleman’s secret at JetBlue? It’s a new concept called understanding what your customers really need. Neeleman’s fanatical attention to customer satisfaction, employee relations, and technology make for such a fascinating read, I raced through the book in one sitting."
