He's just doing his job and this latest "project" with Aer Lingus is brilliant ! He will cut labor costs over the Atlantic, get reduced operating & maintenance costs and reap the profits from the joint sale of tickets with Aer Lingus.

I predict it will be a huge success because there will be two air carriers selling tickets on both side of the pond and then lining their pockets with the proceeds. Who is going to stop this "alliance ?" No one has the balls or the legal authority to do so.

Yes, it burns my ass to see such a low life destroy a once proud airline and watch other CEO's follow suit. I think you could build a case that a large part of trans-Atlantic flying will be done in this manner in the future. Let's face reality. Domestic flying has been gouged and the only real profit center is in the international market. If Tilton et al can cut their labor costs, operating expenses, etc. there is more gold for the Execs. Who ultimately gets the royal screwing ? You and I.

Sorry....I've got to go to the head. I'm sick to my stomach
