I am grateful for any hiring, especially in an environment where much of the industry is struggling. Folks can argue til the cows come home whether United Next or Delta's slow and steady approach is a better business model, I wont pretend to know for sure.
so where would you rather be in this economy today with your investments? Balls to the wall it’s going to keep getting better and better for the next 5 years or one of we have come a long way and seem to be in uncharted territory and as such might need to be a bit cautious going forward based on past history?
