Depends, it can become our problem. History is full of great pilot groups who were run into the dirt by hack management teams. Certainly SWA pilot benefited from their Company's leadership as did FedEx pilots.

Fortunately we have the best two teams amongst our peer group sitting on both sides of the table. I am hoping Richard Anderson sticks around through Contract 2012. Bastian's involvement in our bankruptcy could color contract negotiations and add unnecessary issues, polarizing the sides immediately.

Not looking forward to Interest Based Bargaining. Hope we avoid that mess entirely.

... and you want creepy? Can't resist the man'stache eh?

Somehow late 1970's sexy & the shower seems to go with CG calculators, dial a flap, poles & ladders, and chart holders that burst into flames.
