Thomas Reynaert, IATA’s Senior Vice President External Relations, said of the findings: “The growth of airline route networks reflects both developments in demand and the operating environment.

Something like: “It was great to meet you. I’m very excited about the opportunity and look forward to next steps.” And just like that, you missed a huge opportunity to close the deal.

Here’s the uncomfortable truth: at the senior level, everyone who makes it to the final round is prepared,…
