Okay, thanks for answering that question.

So you started in the airline industry during arguably the darkest time in its history. What were your expectations getting into this career? i.e. Is your frame of reference for the value of this profession the "bankruptcy era" or does your frame of reference include the long established track record of the value of this profession prior to that? What makes you think that a drastically reduced value established during a crisis should be accepted as a new basline?
