Amazing really what effect a couple of people can have on a company this size.
Dead-on Autothrust. I was thinking the exact same thing. Hostile take over from the most bone-headed airline management philosophy in the business. Somehow their idiotic beat-down style was going to work at Allegiant when it didn't work at NWA? Several VPs, a senior VP and a handful of directors get their walking papers from DAL (I wouldn't keep em either) and they wander over to us to spread their cheer, along with their 'success stories': "Guys, guys, at brand x, we used to...blah, blah).
How's brand x doing, BTW?
