It's another form of SH's airline "malingering." He just wants to make sure everyone thinks the ship is sinking so when it comes time for more disappointing results on RFP bids and Delta block hours, he doesn't have to be held accountable. Then, he can point to the emails of doom and gloom he sent out once a month talking about how the airline skies are falling and say its not ASAs fault. Then, Brad will come out with a weekly update thanking ASA front line employees for their dedicated hard work and promising that more downsizing and job loss is going to position ASA for a better future. Then, we can all go on to said weekly update comments section and read FA peanut gallery cheers about go ASA, thanks brad, and git-r-done.
