^^^^^This is spot on! This same BOD approved the purchase of Colgan and Mesaba. This same BOD gave PT and DS a couple million dollars to "consult" after they "resigned." These same morons are the men behind the curtain pulling the strings. Menke may as well have been dropped onto the bridge of the Titanic just before it hit the iceberg. TOO LITTLE, TOO LATE! There was nothing that could be done to stop this sinking ship. Now Menke has to attempt to clean up a mess he didn't make. I sure don't like the fact that Menke took a pay raise, but the BOD are the REAL criminals.
