High costs coupled with lower-than-expected performance lead to lower revenue and decreased incentives paid to us by our major partners, which means that we are continuing to lose money at a time we had planned to be in a much stronger financial position. Because of our financial position we have elected to curtail spending on programs that do not directly relate to the safety and/or operational performance of our airline. It is clear that a lot of work remains ahead to improve our performance and to become profitable.
Good! Now take that money you saved on these "feel good" programs and buy the maintenance department some damn parts so we can fix some planes. I'm tired of flying broken airplanes with a laundry list of MELs and sitting at outstations waiting on parts from ATL.
Thank god! Maybe they are starting to get the picture. A simple list of top performers recommended by peers is enough.
Now to cut away at Mini-indy, Acey days, etc..
