For those of us who have been here 15-30+ years, we have been hearing them tell us to save gas the whole time. We do. We have also been waiting for a gate in the penalty box, or 50 yards short due to no jetway driver, for the same number of years.
They want to apply process improvement to "us", but they don't do it to their own decision making and the repercussions from those same decisions.
At the end of the day we get to see the same movie every 5-8 years. I have most of the words memorized by now.
