I am ready for SWAPA to turn up the heat in a big way. It's time for the SWAPA BOD to stop being comfortable. This latest negotiation update has me concerned. It's fun to complain about being stonewalled. We have been doing it for years. It's another thing entirely to do something about it.

I firmly believe if you don’t know or understand the operation you are overseeing well enough to diagnose failures you have no business in that position. Hiring a consulting firm is nothing more then PR and if (when) it happens again, the consulting firm can be blamed for not identifying the fault.
Consulting firms are a scam. They exist solely so those in charge have the ability to blame the “consultants” when something goes over budget or turns into a dumpster fire.

Your statement does not square with what I know about those companies. Nor is it in parallel with what Carl Icahn did with TWA.
