Agreed. I never flew there, but being in the "Willow Run Circle" I flew with plenty who did. The view that they gave was the the father gave the company over the the sons, who were more interested in the money than actually running an airline. So, they just ran it into the ground - Somehow they didn't see that DC-8s and Electra's were the fleet of the future.
