Hey fuel is cheap lets buy hundreds of high cost 50 seat RJs and lock into 20 year contracts. Whats that? Two wars in the middle east - no worries.
And my personal favorite - although not financially a big deal ,it cracks me up. Hey, lets advertise Gotomeeting.com on our jets because really, what airline wants businessmen buying last minute tickets to attend meetings?

I'm sure that I am missing a few others and yeah, I know this is a new management team and all. Well I am rooting for them in this endeavor - I am just not overly optimistic.

I'm right there with you, however I do have confidence in RA. Yes he had made mistakes, but I feel the biggest were made prior to his tenure.
