Meet Glenn Orsmond - an accountant among pilots, dubbed ‘second most hated person in aviation’ 

Former Comair and OneTime CEO’s autobiography ‘Crash and Burn’ provides a fascinating insight into a career in South Africa’s highly visible, ever-turbulent airline industry. In the book, a filter-free Orsmond rips the bandaid obscuring truth behind the spectacular collapse of 70-year-old airline Comair - and much more. BizNews editor Alec Hogg describes it as a riveting read and in this interview, hears more of the back story of a value-destructive industry from the man dubbed its second most hated person.
