Ask AAL, DAL, UAL, USAir, et al employees if their countless concessions saved their beloved company from bankruptcy and/or liquidation. Large corporations exercise creative accounting that you and I are not privy to. It is the greedy and evil society that we live in. Success and failure solely rests on management, period. Sadly, this management has used up most of its nine lives by choosing to let their greed and ego run its course. Instead of leading by team building, they chose the antagonistic approach in an effort to beat down the very workforce that brought them success. They are walking on thin ice and we are in dire need of leadership at the helm to steer this runaway vessel. Management needs to step up or move out.
