...though I'm sure the authors included it in the book. The history of Trump Shuttle is just unbelievable--he took what should have been a turnkey operation and flew the whole damn thing straight into the ground. Instead of letting the thing run itself, Trump micromanaged it into bankruptcy, including renovating the lavatories with marble and gold fixtures for the requisite Trump bling-bling. It was only the hard reality of physics that nixed that idea--the engineers told Trump that his planes--obsolete '60s-vintage 727s--would never get off the ground with all that weight. Instead, Trump settled for shag carpeting that made it nearly impossible to move drink carts through the aisles.
Let's not forget this is the guy who bankrupted multiple casinos. He even lost his shirt in a real estate deal to Merv Griffin, for God's sake.
