Good news, concerning men of character travels slow, my friend.

I realized it and still watched it again because I hadn't seen it in a while.

It sure was refreshing from what ewrbasedpilot is talking about.

Makes me want to move right out of the USA.

You guys ever watch M-TV Bully Beat down? They pay a bully 10K to step into the cage with a professional MMA fighter to how tough they really are. The outcome is always very predictable with the big talking bully getting has smart butt whipped good.

I think we need to all pitch in and have a new show called CEO beat down.

Just saying.

I REALLY, REALLY , REALLY like that idea! Except they would not have to hire a professional MMA fighter. Thousands would line up to get a crack at some CEOs.
Imagine if they got Frank Lorenzo in the ring, there would be nothing left of him. He would be vaporized faster than a nuclear blast!
I could think of some others that could earn top billing in an all out cage match- Jon Orenstein, Carl Icahn, and many others!

You beat me to it. Hardly a shining example of corporate benevolence.

The article doesn't say anything about firing sick pilots.

I'm not defending the 'restructuring through firing'. Maybe I'm missing something.
