Best of the Banter -- A Small Selection of Previous Columns
Now Posted: Dave Hilfman, SVP Global Sales for United Airlines was kind enough to sit down with us recently for one of our renowned Lounge Lizard Interviews.
Join us as we talk about his many years at Continental Airlines, how the function of the corporate travel relationship at airlines has changed dramtically, how United has begun to change its corporate sales philosophy, how a farm boy from Iowa ended up leading the largest airline sales force in the United States, and how that same man has persevered over the last year after losing his wife to cancer shortly after the UAL/CAL merger occurred. It's a must read. Hint: His wonderful sense of humor helped. A lot.
