MAG pilots beware, it might be good to stock up on Preparation PH in case Foley plans to do another XJ here.
No need to be scared of Foley. He didn't do much to intimidate us while he was head of MAIR... he really didn't do much at all besides soak up a fat paycheck every month. Hence, the sticker. The only reason to be scared of Foley would be his history of killing airlines by quietly shifting any cash the airline might have laying around to his personal account.
