Rumor has it that Biffle may be seeing the writing on the wall. Company is making money but not near as much as it could be. Lots of the Senior VPs don't like working w/ him. He yells, belittles, etc. so many just tell him what he wants to hear to placate/get rid of him in conversation. Which means he doesn't have a true perspective on how bad things are.
I know him and Franke are boys but giving the excuse of "all airlines are experiencing the same issues" might just be wearing thin. I can't imagine any other airline w/ operational stats like ours.
This and about $7.00 will get you a fancy cup of coffee...
