Anyone else done the Kool-aid class? When the instructor said the company was at a crossroads I snorted. The COMPANY is not at a crossroads: they have a map, navigator, and destination in sight. The UNION and PILOT GROUP are at a crossroads, with an out of touch union leadership and rebelling membership.
And anyone who thinks pilot labor is the biggest cost to getting us to #1 has never been in a Delta Lounge. Do yourself a favor and check one out, even their small ones (like in Denver) put our clubs to shame.
How much money has United thrown away on the Busted Boom? How about the Heart Aerospace electric commuter vaporware airplane?
The money is there. FUPM.
