"Themeselves"

I see a theme here, of those selves who see four e's where there ought to be three.

Forbes copy editors are paid far less than pilots...😋

its no secret that airlines collude and collaborate to share the profit and avoid competing against THEMESELVES because it works. I wonder what ever happened about the probe the feds started about the antitrust violation. Maybe they were all paid off. IDK

I would imagine that the airline CEO's, just like the rest of corporate America, are engaged in highly leveraged stock buy-backs to keep the stock price up and to keep the bonuses rolling in.

A few years ago, I met a former UAL flight attendant who told me when she realized after bankruptcy, that she was making less than she was ten years prior, it was time to leave.

Does it take a genius to figure out that "after bankruptcy" and "making less than ten years prior" are probably closely related? The only thing the FA should have been "shocked" to realize is that if somehow after BK she was NOT making less than in earlier years.

As you are probably aware, all stock buybacks are is executive compensation due to the stock options they receive.

He's a known troll on the forums at FI.com who is apparently trying to infest this one as well by masquerading under the name of someone that used to actually contribute over there before everyone abandoned ship. Apparently he got tired of talking to himself. Not sure how he hasn't been banned yet.
