The vast majority of TWA's demise was Carl Icahn. AA isn't a government agency; it can run out of money, it can go bankrupt, everyone can lose their jobs, we must turn a profit to exist. A few of us have fairly vivid experiences of bankruptcies turning careers sour. If you want to flagrantly jeopardize that for your own selfish benefit then yes, you're putting everyone at risk.
