The BOD should fire him for his incompetence.
I don't see other regionals having the problems BB is having. He has poisoned the water so bad at RAH, the corporate culture is ruined by greed.
It goes beyond that. He is paying a huge sum of money to a third party to conduct surveys and help to "change the culture", but has given management no authority to actually follow any instructions from said company. He has hired seabury, again, to develop a business plan to keep rah around without paying his pilot group. Part of that plan, which will be implemented immediately is to park planes and decrease revenue. So he is paying multiple outside companies, parking planes, reducing revenue and profit, and he feels it is a good business plan. It all adds up to be FAR more expensive than a new contract. He has crossed over to gross negligence. His buddies on the board wont do a thing about it.
