Anyone ever meet Fred in person? I have only seen him on TV and he seems like a cold unfriendly guy.

It's around the 5:30 point that he discusses "cost reductions" vs layoffs...and even mentions pilot pay/hours closer to the end.

Yes, good guy, old days he'd show up and talk about flying, was even around F-street buying rounds a few times. Never talked down to anyone, always seemed to listen to what you have to say, even if he didn't agree with it.
