Jeffrey Eisenberg brings you inside airline corporate America like no other, exposing the decisions, the politics, the personalities shaping the world's largest airline. In this primordial soup known also as United Airlines, safety theater reigned supreme.
 
Eisenberg began his aviation career at US Airways in 2004, where he met United CEO Scott Kirby (who was President of US Airways) and United Chief Commercial Officer Andrew Nocella (who was a Senior VP of Planning at US Airways).  When he read about US AIrways' hostile takeover attempt in Delta in 2006 - in the newspaper for the first time - he knew he needed to get onto that team.  He would later be promoted to Manager of the small but mighty Strategy and Long Range Planning team, that was all consumed with participating in or happily instigating airline consolidation.  In a big twist of irony, in that role he worked on three separate merger attempts with United Airlines, the last of which worked out - for Continental - whick jolted to attention at the prospect of an almost signed deal between United and US Airways forever boxing Contiental out of indsutry consolidation.
 
In 2011, he moved to New York where coincidentally he spent another 7 years in between being Manager of Revenue Management at JetBlue, or serving as Vice President Airline Equity Reseach at an investment bank and then covering the credit portfoloio of ~70 airline names in the Americas.
 
Eisenberg joined United in 2017, reporting to Patrick Quayle, currently SVP Global Planning. Patrick is an ex-pAAtriate of American Airlines and an acolyte of Kirby and Nocella. Most recently Eisenberg served as Managing Director of Operations Performance and Strategy, reporting to Ankit Gupta, Chief Air Operations Officer and the other and last expAAtriate executive at United to join as part of Kirby's epic transfer to United as President from American as President in May 2016. Lest I forget, my fondest role at United was as the Director of Fleet Analysis and Flight Profitability Finance, having the privilege of leading a terrific team with overflowing talent through the pandemic. We accomplished a few things too, such as an historic fleet order for 270 narrowbody jets announced May 2021 when most airlines were debating if the world was caving in and United was solidifying a lasting advantage.
