Q is not that I disagree with you but...with reasonable typing skills everyone is a CEO.

Perhaps you have an MBA. Or perhaps managing as an officer in military has given you excellent skills. The VP of Flight Ops is opened...

Business class on transcon.... he’s not exactly Thomas Edison.

Yeah, I don't think he said that he invented it. Someone had to pull the trigger to get it here. I'll give him the one positive...

That’s what I’m saying... the process is sound but the business objectives are unrealistic. In process design that’s called slack. I’m quite sure that the business objectives did not allow very little or any slack. Or, they made a conscious decision to accept a higher rate of predictable loss.

I’m pretty sure first class was invented a long time ago.

I wouldn’t want to be the first mate on the Titanic simply to rearrange the deck chairs. I wouldn’t take anything less than Robin’s spot. I couldn’t deal with all those yes-men who have no idea how to innovate.

I really think they need to look to Silicon Valley or the tech sector and hire one of those really smart nerds that flunked out of some fancy school but is strongly multidisciplined in science, technology, engineering, or math but has also some business sense (which is easy). I personally don’t care about all those fancy titles behind somebody’s name. The aviation industry isn’t exactly rocket science. Believe me, there are some really smart people out there. Look at ...

These are just the ones that are most famous...

Now these men are leaders....not simple shift managers who have put JB into the emergency descent it’s in now. I don’t even think half these guys have MBAs so I doubt they will meet JetBlue’s “high standards”.

Well we don’t know if it’s a positive or negative post. Bluedriver hasn’t let us know yet.

First off, queue, try to keep up with the threads you start. Aldonite posted that almost an hour before you. Even used an “inventor” in his post.

Secondly, as Say Again posted, I never said he invented first class. But he did bring it to an all economy class airline and it is very successful. I’ll give him credit for that. Lately I give him zero credit.

I missed his post.

So other than enlarging his golden parachute or making money for shareholders (see my post Myth of fiduciary responsibility, and my other one with case law), he has accomplished little. Didn’t SWA pilot’s union send a letter of no confidence to Gary Kelly? Maybe we can find a way to replace all these ineffective middle and upper beaurocrats with real leaders?

Neelemen didn’t finish skool?
