Have you ever made a bad buying decision? Of course your have. You’re human. It’s frustrating, stressful and a waste of time, money and resources. You might not even know you’re making mistakes.

How to Handle AOGs: An Airline's Perspective
You're no stranger to an AOG. You despise them. They make you sweat. They make you mad. They may even make you cry.
