Summary

Alan Joyce: Riding the Jet Stream is a compelling, factual and gripping memoir from one of Australia's most consequential chief executives. With a network spanning seven prime ministers and countless captains of industry, Alan Joyce provides a no-holds-barred account of some of the most important decisions taken during his career leading one of aviation's most respected brands.

Few chief executives have been tested as relentlessly: the Global Financial Crisis, bitter industrial battles, unrelenting public scrutiny and the near collapse of aviation during COVID. In a role where every decision is hugely consequential, Joyce sets the record straight and tells his story as it happens – in real time, under pressure – in this candid memoir.

From grounding the Qantas fleet, to steering through a pandemic that brought global travel to a standstill, Joyce's tenure is woven into some of the nation's most significant moments.

Critic reviews

'Alan's an outstanding executive ... intelligent, strategic, courageous and honest ... clearly the attributes needed to lead an iconic company like Qantas through the many challenges he faced during his tenure.' (Leigh Clifford, Qantas Chairman 2007–2018)

It was giving PTSD for some of the issues relating to aviation but well written, you have to tune in the accent but I could listen to him read the dictionary and it would be relaxing. Good for AVGeeks and people who want to understand the inner workings of any big CEO
