Dear ras-ers, I took some time last week to send a response on the Future Restructuring Task Force final report and appendices to the task force members and a couple of the folks on the executive committee. I thought that the report was realistic and thoughtful and reflected a lot of work. I'm...

I have a fairly early copy of this book. Copyrights 1975 and 1978 with the second printing in 1981. Does anyone know if Reichmann ever updated it or if anyone else did after his death. I was going to reread it this winter but was curious if it had been brought into the GPS/flight computer era...
