He might be sleeping well at night, but at some point, he will be answering to a "higher authority". And I don't think his greedy legacy will be well received when he gets there.

Jerry Glass represents all that is
wrong with the corporate world, and
in particular what has been ailing
US Airways for the past 10 years.

Management by fear has been the only
method of operations at US Airways.
From the top on down, there has never
been cooperation, only deceit and
arbitrary orders. If the old US Airways
was able to eradicate this cancerous
culture many years ago, the company
would have thrived and not ended up
in the throes of Jerry Glass.

Mr. Glass came along to pick fruit
when US was ripe for picking, and he
did an admirable job of firmly
entrenching the troops with management
by fear tactics. Those who chose not
to be indoctrinated were tossed to the
side routinely, and it's been Jerry's
way or the highway. That's a hell of
a way to run a railroad if you asked
me. With the old US culture and Jerry's
tactics, the airline was destined to
fail and be sold off.

If you don't have the trust and
cooperation of your own employees,
your company will fall into the
sh!tter quicker than you would
ever guess. I suppose this is a
lesson that was not learned, and
will be repeated by HP management.

Jerry glass is not the bad guy. He's a management lackey that does exactly what management is supposed to do...keep costs low. The bad guy is alpa national who sells out the regional pilot while pocketing their dues.

Well, I mean, he's not wrong.

I have no dog in this fight, but there's a difference between keeping costs low and leading through fear; and for that matter, treating your employees like crap. Look at Southwest as an example of how to keep costs low, treat your employees like gold, and make awesome profits - all while expanding operations.
