In the Blame Game, you have to blame somebody or something else. Blame somebody, and they can sue. Ergo...

While taking the blame yourself could be a Christian thing to do, i wouldn't hold your breath here.

You can also think of this as another stick to get Congress and the FAA to roll back the 1,500 hour requirement.

Don't hold your breath for the Press Release that says: '... I messed up and didn't unload all those baby Brasilian jets fast enough. Not my fault the frickin' Canadians couldn't build the new shiny big jet fast enough and I could start Frontier III and forget this puddle-jumping nonsense. Not my fault I didn't negotiate the right capacity purchase agreement clauses with the Big 3....'

It's easier to blame Washington. It's popular, we love our guy when he/she's home, but that air in DC just messes everyone up.

Fault? ain't got no stinkin' fault around here.
