So it was John Malone and over-paid pilots that landed us in bankruptcy?
All these years I thought it was bad management, terrorism and the economy.
Its a good thing we have more sophisticated union leadership now. There's always a danger of pilots making too much money again. We desperately need Moak and his team to "view the world as it exists" and keep us from negotiating any more of those excessive pay rates.
