Awax maybe you think the JAL CEO only taking a $1 salary while they dug themselves out was idiotic, or that Trump not pulling a gov't salary is BS? Personally, I appreciate OM's gesture.
Gesture? I've never seen the value in self flagellation. He could have donated that money to a good cause for the needy. Instead he left it in the company treasury where it can be used for what, increase our already bloated managment?
Good egg? Sure. So was Mr. Rogers, but not someone I would choose to lead an airline to profitability.
Lead by example? Just remember that in a few months when our financial performance becomes part of the narrative in contract negotiations.
No one is attacking Oscar's charachter. Remember, he's been on the board since 2005- overseeing the merger and being senior management.
Let's see what AA reports this week, but it's looking like we're going from first (country's largest airline 2012), to worst in size and financially (among our peers).
It's Results, not symbolism that pays the bills.
