He shouldn't have held back IMO. I feel for him and the rest of the employees.

That was pretty good but every time he paused I thought he was going to keel over from a heart attack!

Aside from the rambling psychotic delivery, he makes some valid points. This airline has nowhere to go but up and the present philosophy of doubling down on the practices of the past will be the worst possible risk for creditors and investors............well, with a few exceptions.

I can't even figure out what this guy is saying thanks to his craziness. Too bad, he might have some good points.

some points, while valid, are too simplistic to wave a magic want and make happen overnight.

stop the hub/spoke system
stop pricing tickets so low
the concept that growing up in an airline family = know how the run the airline as a corporation

etc.

again he has valid points, however some points just can't be easily fixed. I commend his pride and commitment to making the industry better, we need more people like that.
