If you actually took the time to listen to the Q2 investor call, you would know that JB changed it's guidance for growth in the 2nd half of 2013, reducing growth. When asked directly from one of the institutional investors why, the company said because of increased MX EXPENSES.

Higher expenses decrease the company's ABILITY to fund growth. That is unless you still believe that costs don't matter at all, because right under Barger's desk is a F###### money tree... for someone who claims to understand business finances, you missed the chapter on financial resources being scarce, and by definition limited.

Telling me costs don't matter is like telling me that weight doesn't matter when overloading a jet. The laws that you violate in both instances are just as concrete. But if you want to play Mr. Big Finance Expert, please start an airline and pay the pilots 2000.00 an hour, hell, make it 50000.00 per hour since costs don't matter at all (your words).

As far as building an airline, I want to maximize my pay and QOL, and the best way I can do that is through seniority progression, not a pay raise that dramatically slows growth. You know, the same way YOU got YOUR seniority. But hey, now that you have a notable amount of seniority, YOU don't care if growth slows or stops, you don't need it (anymore)...

As far as leaving management to worry about growth, I (we) suffer the primary consequences of slow growth, so yeah, I will damn well worry about it. You are a lying and self serving piece of human garbage when you manipulate the simpletons into believing that costs don't matter and company money is unlimited, pretending you actually know about corporate finances. Totally shameful.

Lamborginis for every pilot, money is free!!!!
