The SSK
I was also a one-man pioneer of yield management.
Are you THE Peter Belobaba, or did you pioneer him? His doctoral dissertation was the seminal “Air Travel Demand and Airline Seat Inventory Management,” which proposed the expected marginal seat revenue methods still used by many revenue management systems.

Belobaba must be about 55 years old now, which (according to published age) makes The SSK the true pioneer. Belobaba's doctoral dissertation is still classifed confidential by MIT and is not obtainable despite various attempts to do so. I now wonder if that is because it is also based on a set of formulae which were bull**** but impressed the MIT masters
