EM seem's to have most of all institutional investors behind them, hence why GK was bounced. Part 1 begins on Thursday. Part 2 will be election on many new board members. Part 3 will be the firing of BJ and AW. Part 4 will be SWAPA spending millions to protect our CBA as the newbies try to dismantle it, as well as all the other CBA's that SWA just signed.
I didn’t think AW was on the chopping block. Everyone else was though. They wanted people who had worked elsewhere and weren’t institutionalized SWA employees for 30 years. I think Tom Nealon and AW would be a good #1/2. I don’t know enough about Tammy Romo other than her emails 4x/yr to have an idea over whether or not she needs to take a hike.
We need to cut VP’s like crazy and trim HDQ of the excess personnel that have nothing to do with running a profitable airline.
