No “chief” I haven’t asked them but since you said “it’s a pretty big deal for them” I figured you might, you know, ….have some insight. Or you could have just been spinning words, like you do.
By the way, how does our MEC lack initiative or strength of character or is irresponsible? How exactly would you get delta to come to the table? You never answered , and I can’t imagine someone with your integrity and knowledge would purposely evade a question that merely asked them to elaborate on their own stated viewpoints. Or you could just, you know, be full of words

Lol first one is because the dude said Ukraine is run by nazis and Russia has a right to invade them, the other 2 don’t call james names….questions? All of which would be warranted face to face. Way to take things out of context and leave my myriad of respectful RFIs to suit your narrative though
Calling someone stupid over thoughts on capitalism at THE VERY FIRST comment on a subject is ridiculous. But you know that don’t you
Your thoughts on this are duly noted and disregarded.
I stand by my statement

So fraud IF they exercised options or otherwise used insider information for personal gain? I can see that. Trading on inside information, particularly when you are able to manipulate decisions that will affect stock price is illegal, well, except for members of Congress…

Stock buybacks were considered illegal in the US for most of the 20th century due to stock price manipulation concerns.
Time to go back to the days before Rule 10b-18.
Pay the executives millions (if they deserve it or can negotiate it).
Use the profits generated by the company to either reward stockholders with dividends, employees for their efforts, or reinvest in the business.
The experiment has been tried; stock buybacks by CEO's to enhance the value of their stock options at the expense of everything else has been a colossal failure.

There’s really only two ways to reward investors. Dividends or buybacks. I believe Congress just passed legislation for a 1% tax on buybacks so hopefully that sways it towards dividends a bit. Personally I’ve been moving $ in retirement accounts to higher paying dividend companies and away from companies that do buybacks.

Thanks for the insight. I wasn’t aware of the background on buybacks. I kind of always saw it as stock price manipulation for management compensation and for that reason preferred higher paying dividend companies.
