...misleading. Denis Johnson’s Seek is not so much a collection of journalistic efforts as it is a fragmented memoir, diffracting observations of fringe elements at home and abroad through the prism of the author’s opinions.

While there were a few pleasant surprises, including Alaska, Southwest and Delta Airlines' relatively strong showings, for the most part the picture is pretty dismal. "The airlines promised two years ago to clean things up, and they just haven't," says Richard Gritta, professor of finance at the Pamplin School of Business at the University of Portland in Oregon...
