You didn't hurt my feelings, but you must admit, we've got a lot going on simultaneously, unlike your regional analogy, which is probably spending its time wondering if they should take 3 peanuts or 2 pretzels out of the little bags they offer as an in-flight snack. As pilots, we are not privy to El Picture Grande, and so when something happens, we are usually the last to know. That probably goes for our airline management too. Remember, the airline is a rather small portion of the overall picture, and I'd bet that even the VP of Flight Ops is preached to, and kept in the dark, a good deal of the time. Doesn't make it right. Just makes it the way it is. By the way, what with your extensive background in corporate structuring, maybe you could offer some suggestions as to how to run a more profitable company. I'm sure Fred would appreciate it.
