Are you saying our mgmt has nothing to do with our current success? I'd like to think both mgmt and labor had--and have--equal roles in it.
And who cares about past blunders, IF mgmt learned from them and didn't perpetuate them. You can Google "biggest Apple or Microsoft failures" and entertain yourself for hours. They're both still pretty successful.
And while I think the stock buybacks were a waste, they were chump change compared to some companies...like Apple and Microsoft for example. Look up their recent buybacks and compare to DAL.
