jesus. they don't even need to invent anything new, they just have to vomit up the same old crap.

"bonuses are needed to retain top management to keep them from going to other companies." yes, they're so "top" they ran a formerly hugely profitable airline into the ground.

"we took care of the employees first and ourselves last." right. you took care of the employees pay cuts first, and your huge bonuses last.

these people should be tied to a post and beaten with a baseball bat. and then shot.
