That was his goal at NAA and he was given a bonus for it. Again that was just what happened with us. I'm usually a glass is half full guy and didn't believe it but that is what ended up happening. It sucks but I think with everything going on over there recently it looks like you guys are headed down the same path. Just my opinion of course. The good news is EVERYONE is hiring NOW.
Thanks for the info. One question: was North American already on shaky financial ground when this guy was brought in? The reason I ask is that Allegiant is very strong financially and I don't see a shutdown anywhere in our future (except for the one WE are going to create). This guy seems like a hired gun brought in to keep employees at bay and make the ultra rich even richer. He's going to be met with 500 fed up pilots on Day 1.
