This is quite funny, I just read a bunch of stuff on what Air Canada is looking to do, lock outs etc., and realized that they are just doing exactly what Alan Joyce just did as part of his grand plan to destroy a national icon.

It's like these fools all got together in a room and came up with this grand plan to hose the employees, add 'value' to shareholders by firming up the 'bottom line', and then take that 'bottom line' home for Christmas themselves in the form of a bonus for a job well done; pretty freekin' brilliant if you ask me. It is certainly a good thing we have strong national leadership in Australia and Canada so the average employee doesn't get hosed by management. Oh, wait. . .

Now, if AC can just try, and fail, to set up a long haul premium carrier in a third world country they'll be on their way.

Hooray for airline CEO's!

These guy's make Lorenzo and Stephens look brilliant.
